I currently have a tiny boxfish in QT as well as a flagfin angel. No issues whatsoever between them.
The boxfish is EXTREMELY friendly, follows my hand back and forth, and lets me pet it - he is like a puppy. Name is Rubik (yes he is a cube). Anyway I digress. I have had him for a few days and he ate at the LFS but has not really eaten in my tank.
I have tried pellets, muscle, mysis. He shows some interest and has picked, but that's about it. Since he stays at the top I have put food in a small tuperware container which he even swims into while I am holding it in the water, but still little interest. I left this am and put a few pellets in the tupperware and attached it to the upper part of the tank with a magnet clip to allow his to swim into it at the top (not sure if that worked as I am at work).
Any other thoughts or suggestions? I do have an air stone for added water flow in the tank which does not seem to bother him (swims right up to and through it) - turn that off?
