Just checking if anyone has a blueboxfish, succesfuly living in there tank and for how long? I had one for about 2 months before it died , I just could not find anything it would eat. So before I buy another one I wanted to see proof that it is possible, I already own a yellow box for 2 years now, I just cant figure out why they dont eat.

I don't think there are very many, if any people who have kept blue boxfish here. Its really hard to find any info on them. From what I have read, It seems like the hardest part of keeping them is getting them to eat. They are also get ich really easily. But I know at least some people have kept them successfully and got them to eat.
Did your boxfish ever get ich when you had it, or poison the tank?

Do a search on blue boxfish or Ostracion meleagris, if you ask your question there, you might get more information.
