    ever since about a week ago, rosie, has has a somewhat puffed up stomach. Its only around her back side, and isnt that big. Are these baby puffers, or is something wrong. She gets a clam daily if that makes any difference.

    Not likely. If you look at pictures of a bunch of pufferfish, you'll see that a lot of them get that "gut". Also, sometimes puffers are susceptible to worms. When it goes to the bathroom, does the waste get stringy and hang off the fish for a while? That's one of the indicators of internal worms. If not, it's just fat. :cheesy:
