blue boxfish

A fish for a wedding present eh. How original! Hmmmmm. Gotta plan to "renew those vows" & just invite reefers this time. Hehehehe.

I'm trying to convince my fiance' to register at the LFS for our wedding. It's not a winning battle. Too bad the Bay doesn't have a fish section.

Awww....love the blue boxfish. Thanks for sharing. Yeah come to think of it I can't say I ever seen a blue boxfish for sale in Calgary. Nice snag and nice wedding gift!

What have you tried feeding him so far? Did ya name him yet?

He is a very pretty fish. I love the box fish species. I personally have a cowfish. He is really cute. I love how they will follow you around and beg for food.

I just wanted to make sure you new about the toxin that the boxfish can give off that could destroy your entire tank. The blue box fish is actually the worst when it comes to releasing the toxin. If you ever see him stressed or about to die make sure you put him into quarentine immediately.

I have been taking care of these fish for about four years. Like I said they are my favorit and they have great personalities however they can be dangerous to there tank mates.

yes i do know about the toxin last year i lost a huge cowfish to ich wile i was away camping for the weekend,the rest of the fish were ok when i got back but my lion stoped eating and died shortly after but who knows if it was the toxin or not

What a nice fish! Only seen the females for sale at a place in Victoria here. Very cool! Would love to keep one as they don't grow large...but dicey! Good luck and keep us up to date on his progress.....never thought to register at the LFS for our wedding DARN....I don' think my husband would have appreciated that quite so much! Nice score!
