I'm not sure what the problem is... Are you saying that your puffer's belly is dark? This would be a sign of stress. Can you tell us about your tank, the cycling process you used, your water parameters, tankmates, diet, and so on?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

What other foods have you offered it? Your puffer is a wild-caught fish who is used to eating live foods.
