Had my GSP, Oddball, for about a week now, I think he's an adult but I really don't know what age.

He loves live snails and digging in the sand for them. He tends to do exceited laps of the tank after he's had a few. I'm having trouble not overfeeding him a lot of the time he paes the tank and I feel bad for him. :/ I'll just feed him once every two days from now on I guess so I'm not tempted to put more in whenever i give him a snack. I'm currently raising the salinity to full SW.

He has a black shadow around his belly. Any advice?

A week is very little time for puffers to get over stress. They can throw strops that last weeks if you move them/ move anything in their tank. Give him time to settle and realise you are there to serve him.
