Pufferfish adopt dark colours, especially on the belly, when stressed. In and of itself it doesn't mean the fish are dying, but it does mean you have a problem that needs prompt attention. Review water quality, water chemistry, temperature, salinity, aquarium size, and social behaviour in turn. As a rule, pufferfish are hardy and resilient, but they do have their limits.

Cheers, Neale

Your puffer(s) are unhappy because they are in an uncycled tank I'm afraid. I've lent my thoughts to your other thread
