Thanks all :D

This year,Taiwan's aquarium import hundreds of T.baileyi and T.abei
Some different puffer mix in T.abei.
PS:Taiwan's aquarium import 1 T.pustulatus,but very very expensive

T.barbatus Chinese is 長吻紅珍珠狗頭
English mean "long mouth red spot puffer"
I feed them little fish
They like it :P

You may know this already, but be carefull feeding it too many fish only, in it's diet. In addition to needing hard-shelled foods to keep it's teeth trimmed, it can cause liver problems. I received a T suvattii, that I believe was fed a fish-only diet. Died within 6 weeks of getting it. When I dissected the fish, it's liver was hard & yellow.
