green spotted puffer with black belly

about a month ago i bought a baby green spotted puffer (the brackish kind) and acclimated him to full saltwater. When i bought him all the fish in the tank had grey and black spots on their bellies, so i assumed this was normal. however i went to another store and they were all white bellied, and i was told that black bellies were a sign of disease. is my puffer going to die? he's very active and eats well and isn't exhibiting any other problems... if he gets healthier will the black go away or is it there for good?

I think this would be the guide to the status of your fish. Can you post a pic up?
