Puffer with a air pocket

[puccie1]

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of a air pocket on my golden puffer, upon placing him in the tank he ended up with this air pocket on side tried rubbing it and squeezing it but to no avail. He is swimming around okay. Can anyone help with this problem. Thanks

If there are no other issues, they usually work it out, although it may take longer than you would like. He looks healthy enough. You could try and help him out with a little massage, a burping of sorts. No, really it works, I've used it on puffers and anglers.

If he will let you, grab his tail and hold it down so he is in a vertical position and the air bubble should come up and out. Had to do this with a dog face that inflated out of the tank when it decided to jump out!
