Just got my firefish in today and he is swimming around good, but I noticed he a notch sticking out of his stomach. Is he skinny or does he have a bigger problem?

Its skinny but theyre hardy eaters.
Small soft foods are best. LRS frozen food ideal as is brine shrimp with vitamins added and flake foods.
 
I would be worried about internal parasites with a concave stomach like that though it could be starved from
Not being fed well before it came to you. Look for stringy white poo. I would treat with medicated food. See here for more information
