Glad to hear that he is okay. Have you considered a heater guard to prevent Toby from getting burnt?

no not really. this is the first incident ive ever had. normally theyre very calm. i think i might consider it when i get the bigger tank for them
 
Mine puffed one morning. It looked like he had a huge double chin.
 
Doesn't puffing up harm the fish. I thought I read somewhere that puffing up is harmful especially if it puffs outside of water.
