Yellow Boxfish

Ostracion Cubicus

What is the maximum size?
They can reach 45cm
Where does it come from?
The Yellow Boxfish comes from the Indo-Pacific.
Is it Reef Compatible?
No
What should I feed it?
Best to feed a varied diet of algae, frozen foods such as mysis shrimp and live food.
How many can I keep?
This fish is best kept on its own. Juveniles can be kept in groups but adults will fight.
How compatible is it with other fish?
Do not keep with aggressive tank mates. If this fish gets stressed it can release a toxin into the water which can wipe out a tank. This is rare but if you see the boxfish being picked on or near death remove the fish or the cause of the aggression. If the toxin has been released then do water changes.
Can it be bred in the aquarium?
No
