Puffy's can cause variety's of problem when they stuff theirselves to death. If the food is there they will eat it. Although if he is always that shape, could be other issues happening.

How many times do you feed him though? And what do you feed him? Also how old is he? Would give us a better idea.

One of the best things to feed a larger puffer like that is regular frozen shrimp from the grocery store. Good nutritional profile and cheap.


He does look a little chubby but not too bad.
