Agreed.. these are the only two boxfish (mentioned above) that you can get tiny and even NICKNAMED popcorn boxfish ONLY because thats what they look before they mature and get horns & their tiny spots become larger. I have a baby cubicus that is maybe an inch big. They are very hard to come across (found both mine in Calgary) and they DO evenually grow big. Unfortunately they are not hardy, get stressed and disease quite easily, are hard get them to eat, get picked on by every fish. They also can hardly swim and can't be in a tank with powerheads, they will get stuck to most intakes, skimmers, ect and tiny boxfish get scared quite easily. AND most importantly you can only put one boxfish per tank, even if they are both tiny, as the stronger one will always pick on the weaker one till it evenually dies.

Ah,it could just be a typo somthing.Just an urban legend.A hoax.Bummer,I have been looking for them for a while but I cant find much about them.I will poast up a link If I find a good one.

Boxfish are killer,I am supprized tat they are not that popular among noobs.Strange.Tangs seem more common in nanos
