Most will likely need more information.

What sized aquarium?
Readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate?
Tankmates?
How long has the tank been established?
How long have you had the puffer?

A photo would help also.

Do you mean Green Spotted Puffer? Answer the questions above. Often times, especially when they are younger, a dark belly means they are stressed. They have a stress line that lines that area. A very white belly is a good sign.
