i have a dwarf puffer fish?

everytime i feed him, he looks like pregnant, his tummy gets big, is this normal? and the next day he looks normal again, but when i feed him, again looks pregnant
Answers:
Yes, that is normal. The puffer fish suxs in water and expands its body to ward off predators. It "puffs" itself up to look bigger and reveal its colors to show that it is poisionous.hence the name, "puffer fish." The pufer type fish with the spines is called the "blow fish" and essentially does the same thing.

One more thing - DON'T EVER EAT THE PUFFER FISH, IT IS EXTREMELY POISIONOUS!

On a side note:
People in Japanese resturants eat it as a delicacy, but only after its poisionous skin and glands are meticulously removed. Even though this is done, some people still die every year due to puffer fish poisioning.
yeah what Micheal said and also I would like to add do not over feed how much do you feed in one serving and how many feeinds a day?
