I have a 7+ year old very large Dog-face Puffer. He's got amazing character. He's our favorite fish, always very active. I have a 250 gallon well established FOWLR. Checked all parameters, Water is perfect. Everything seems normal. All other fish are fine. But My Puffer hasn't eaten in about a week. And he's much darker in color, and seems bloated (not puffed) Like he possibly cant poop.:(
His diet over the last 5 years has been Ocean Nutrition Formula 1 and 2
Any suggestions?

Offer a different type of food? Perhaps he has simply grown tired of his current type. Doesn't sound likely i know but it can't hurt to try.
 
Try feeding him some frozen peas. You may have to soak them in something to help get him to eat them.
