Yellow Boxfish Ostracion cubicus
A personable fish that requires a certain amount of special care. It tends to be very shy at first and may refuse to accept food for several days or even weeks. Provide caves or crevices in which it can hide, plenty of swimming room, and docile tankmates. Can jump out of an open aquarium. When stressed it can exude a toxin that may wipe out an entire tank. If the fish is being irritated by its tankmates or near death, remove the source of the stress or the boxfish immediately.
Feed a mixed diet of meaty foods, including chopped shrimp, squid, clams and fish. Also frozen rations with marine algae and vitamin-enriched foods.
