Most likely he is gonna stay that color.He will change shades depending on his mood though but his "relaxed color will stay the same.Still a very nice looking puffer.

I bet he'll brighten up once he's settled in. He's probably showing "stress" colors, not "relaxed" colors.

True to that he is deffinitley stressed as of the picture because he has his tail tucked to the side so stressed...I would say yes and possibly a lil nervous,new surroundings etc...But as far as his colors getting much more yellow,probably not,but will be brighter.

My porky puffer recently died after I dosed his tank again with Pimafix but this time I did it before bed woke up next morning he was Dead. O well no point crying over spilt milk I guess if a puffer cant be treated for an infection as mild as a little fin fungus whats the point!!! Anyway got a Stars n Stripes Puffer today, what i need is if theres any special care requirements they need etc / or other crucial info y'all can provide???

There's a species profile. Did you get a bigger tank? You should start a new post.
