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?

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