Box fish

[Stogey]

Just wondering if anyone has any tips about the box fish. Just bought one yesterday.

What kind of boxfish? Because most likely a 29gallon is WAY too small for them.

Yup, that's way too small for a box fish. When a BF is stressed or dies it can release some very nasty toxins and wipe out the entire tank. The entire tank. I'd return it.

Cute fish, but they require huge tanks and they dont have a great survival rate in our tanks, and like Mr. Diggler mentioned, they can poison your fish and corals if they are stressed.
