Thats true but with most white bellied puffers the black belly is a sign of stress.
Is the belly black all day and after the lights go out it gets totally white?
How long have you had them?
Do you have any salt in your water?
Whats your ph, and GH?
None of the Spotted puffers are true fresh water fish.

GSP can change their colors almost at will. The upper parts don't change as dramatically but they do often change their belly color from white to white and grey or black spots to grey to black
Not necessarily. Many fish change colors constantly to blend in, its not stress, its just their nature.
I understand that many fish change color, my ocean green discus can change his color from almost white to dark green at the blink of an eye. But white bellied puffers are different. When there bellies are nothing short of bright white it means they are stressed. I used to keep those fish and in my experience as well as what I've read dark bellies are bad.
I never saw anything like that with mine ...
but mine were getting eaten alive at the store I found them at (bad case of tail and fin nip)
