Thanks, I had wanted one for 3 years but the fear of it releasing toxin into the tank had always made me think twice. However after knowing a few people who never had any issues with them nuking a tank, I decided to take a chance. Very glad that my tank seems fine but it really sucked finding such a cool personable fish dead

Ya I still don't get how it could of been doing so well and then just be dead Very frustrating! I really would like to try another one in the future (as boxfish are my favorite saltwater fish) but I'm worried that another one might just up and die for no apparent reason
