The banded ones are a different species likely M. pleurosticta.

Hi Martin It is very hard for me to take the best pictures of my puffer right now,I thing my puffer is very happy right now,and the colour also very nice and always siwm and play like kid all day. I think i have been taking the picture of him more than a hundred but most of those pictures are not good. But no worry, I try my best to get the best picture for you.

Very cute face! It would have helped a lot of you had filled out your location in your profile. We might have been to figure the ID of your puffer much easier. ;)

He's so fat and cute. :)
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
