Are the care requirements for these guys the same as the yellow boxfish?

the blue ones are boys and the girls have a black body with white spots they are very simular to the yellow box fish but much harder to get started eating and thiey are way more prone to gasing your tank when stressed but the good thing is they only get 6" not 18 and he came from riverfront wich i hate shopping at but its one of the only ones ive seen for sale

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.
