Yes that must be what it is, a "squeak" was the wrong adjective, I actually thought at first it was me making the noise because my nose was a little stuffy and I had to stop breathing and listen to make sure that it was actually coming from him.

BP's can "squeak" or pop slightly when they are held. It seems to be related to stress/excitement. If he's only doing it when held, I'd assume he's fine until you see other signs of an RI as has already been mentioned.

Everyone else has given great advice! I also do my tanks up the way Robbie suggested and it's worked great for me too. Don't give a moment's thought to anyone judging you - we're just happy you're here asking questions and that you want to learn! We all start somewhere...
