can't say i have noticed it doing that, it does look to be "waddling" as it swims now, if that makes sense.
lights are now off for the night so will just have to wait till morning to see how he is :( fingers crossed. i did notice whilst watching the tank that my valentini puffer had a poo and it didn't look right, it looked to be a really long thread of slime with little bits in it, yellow in colour, so now I'm not sure what to do?

This is gonna sound gross, but IME puffers excrete weird looking dung sometimes. I think all you can do for the PBT (for now) is feed peeled boiled peas and dose Epsom salt. There may (or may not) be more in play here than just simple constipation, but there's not much else you can do for her at this point.
