Description
The Blue Spotted Black Boxfish (Male) is an intriguing and striking addition to larger aquariums, easily recognizable by its deep black body adorned with vibrant blue spots. Known for its peaceful temperament, this boxfish is best suited for a calm community tank environment with similarly non-aggressive tank mates.
Boxfish can release toxins when stressed, so a peaceful environment and careful handling are essential. This species does best with a varied omnivorous diet, including algae, marine pellets, and occasional meaty foods. Although generally reef-compatible, caution is advised as they may nip at certain invertebrates. Suitable for intermediate aquarists, this fish requires stable water conditions and a spacious tank to thrive.
