    Copperband Feeding Woes

    I got him around three weeks ago. In the beginning all he would eat was a few frozen mysis. I introduced some live black/blood worms, and he eats those, but I dont want to keep him on this diet. Now he won't eat frozen at all. I was thinking about taking out the live worms completely so he'd get...

    Identify please

    Horrible pictures, I know. I know this guy isnt a longhorn cowfish, because he wouldve at least started to grow horns by now, and hes not a spotted boxfish, because he only has a few speckles here and there, and those guys are absolutely covered. I was thinking thornback/hovercraft helmet boxfish?

I've offered nori and green...

    Very sudden boxfish death.....why?

    Thornback cowfish owners

    I was wondering if anyone has an orange thornback cowfish. I've been looking for one, but no one seems to have them in ORANGE. I'm wondering if its maybe an adult coloration of the fish, or only on a few rare specimens. Thanks! :happyfish
