Yellow Boxfish — quick facts
Care & aquarium requirements
Few fish have as much personality as puffers and boxfish — they recognise their keepers and quickly become tank favourites. They are robust once established and thrive on a varied meaty diet of crustaceans and shellfish.
Compatibility & reef behaviour
Plan tankmates with care. Puffers can sample corals and inverts, and stressed boxfish may release toxins, so a fish-only or species-appropriate system suits them best. They are otherwise peaceable with similarly sized fish.
Export packaging & shipping
Because of this species’ size, strength or special handling needs, it is bagged individually in heavy bags with extra oxygen and insulation. As with every shipment it is conditioned and purged beforehand, then routed for the shortest reliable transit to keep arrival stress to a minimum. For more on how we keep losses low, see our guides on professional packing and mortality prevention.
