  1. Love it or hated it, the Blue spotted box fish is a very beautiful fish to have in a aquarium. Unfortunately it is not suitable for a newbie or general reefer indenting to keep it together with some of your other fishes unless you are willing to setup a dedicated tank for it. When the Blue spotted box fish is under stress or dieing, it is well known for releasing a poison, called ostracitoxin, which can quickly kill an entire tank of fish, including the boxfish itself. Its beauty merits a species tank, however. The male has the blue spots on its sides, while the female arise uniformly brown with white spots. You can keep a single male, single female or a pair but don’t try to keep two males box fish together. The Bluespotted boxfish can also be a challenge to get it to feed. Before you purchase one next time, be sure that you are able to see it eating heartily. This fish may require some live food to start with in the form of enriched live brine shrimp, guppies or mollies or other live fish, and It also requires some algae in their diet. It can be a good cleaner in the tank since it will scrape at algae in your tank, but it should also be offered some frozen foods in order to keep healthy. The bluespotted boxfish is suitable for a reef tank, since it would tend to attach coral as food as well as attacking invert like shrimps, crabs and algae as being part of its personal dining foods.
