+1 on what everyone's saying. Once his tummy is sunken, theres not too much you can do if he won't eat.
Dwarf puffers are very aggressive, and need much more room than less than 1G each. They are territorial and will fight when not given sufficient room and lots of places to hide. I learned this the hard way when I was younger. I would get a bigger tank if you want to keep that many in it. Sorry about your puffer. Hopefully he starts eating and pulls through!!

A sunken stomach usually means internal parasites which are very common for DPs. I had couple batches of DPs all of them all had internal parasites when I got them and lived for a little over a year.
As was mentioned they are small but need a lot of room and a LOT OF PLANTS if they dont have enough plants they get stressed and exhibit symptoms similar to yours. I used to visit this site a lot good info http://www.dwarfpuffers.com/ Here is a pic of my old setup  Good Luck to you they are definately my favorite freshwater fish. Ken
