Puff on air?

[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

What is the best solution for a puffer who has inflated on air? What should I do?

watch closely to make sure it expels all the air
and wait

i thought they fill with water?

i thought they fill with water?

they do....
they are not supposed to be exposed to air
because of that reason
i have seen some die when they injest air
hope for the best

If you are careful and the puffer doesn't deflate itself soon you can hold it submerged with head end up and lightly tap it's belly. Give it some time to relax first to see if it will deflate on it's own, also do NOT sqeeze it unless you want it to die.
