So I have a big heart and I love dwarf aka pea puffers I have a species tank and all my puffs are spoiled rotten and fat ... today I went to the local fish store and found one little guy who was returned bc the owner who previously owned him had no business doing so he is sick and I bought him he is darker in color super skinny and hovering at the bottom any suggestions ???

You probably shouldn't introduce fish from another person's tank who has been in fish store tank water into your tank of healthy fish. Especially if the fish is visibly sick.

not much really, just hope he acclimates well to your tank and recovers enough to start eating

I think the only things you can do are
Treat for internal parasites
Feed
Observe

Small snails, brine shrimp... Getting something to put in his tummy might make him feel better. One of my pea puffers wouldn't eat dry food only live...
