I have a Whitely Boxfish who is doing pretty good so far in my 70 gallon tank. He’s surfing around all the time just scoping things out. He was sometimes stressed in the beginning when people watch him, but now he loves his home.
Problem, I feed him Mysis which he goes nuts for. Recently, he decided that he’s too good for Mysis and doesn’t want them. I panicked since this was the first time I put food in the tank and he didn’t eat ALL of it. He barely ate any. So, I put in some brine shrimp and he gobbled those up. I know brine shrimp do not have good nutritional value, but can you keep a boxfish alive on brine shrimp?
Any other ideas for feeding a box fish?
I was thinking of buying some frozen Krill.
I assume that maybe he gets bored of his food. So a rotation in his diet is probably required (Brine, Mysis, Krill and ???).
Also, I feed my baby clown pellets once in a while to give him some veggies in his diet. Boxfish wont go near that stuff, but that's expected.
Thanks!
