Ostracion cubicus: Yellow Boxfish
The Ostracion cubicus, also known as the yellow boxfish, is a true living curiosity. Its tetrahedron-shaped body is bright yellow with black spots, making it a very decorative animal. It is an active fish, always on the move, which will undoubtedly attract attention in a large marine aquarium.
Behavior and Compatibility
This boxfish is generally peaceful and can be kept with other calm fish, provided they are not too fast or aggressive. It spends most of its time swimming in the water column, exploring the aquarium tirelessly. For this reason, it is essential to provide it with a large swimming area and a decor rich in hiding spots.
Like all Ostraciidae, it has glands capable of secreting a toxin in case of extreme stress or death. This toxin can severely harm other tank inhabitants. Therefore, it is strongly advised to integrate activated carbon into the filtration system.
Aquarium Maintenance Conditions
The Ostracion cubicus should be kept in an aquarium of at least 500 liters, well-oxygenated and with efficient filtration. A decor made of live rocks, open areas for swimming, and hiding spots is ideal for its comfort.
Feeding the Yellow Boxfish
This fish is omnivorous and should receive a varied and rich diet. It is recommended to feed it several times a day in small quantities to maintain its health and liveliness.
- Chopped raw shrimp
- Squid
- Fresh mussels
- Thawed large krill
- Live or frozen brine shrimp
- Regular algae supplements (Nori, spirulina...)
A well-balanced diet will promote its longevity and vibrant colors. It also accepts certain industrial foods suitable for omnivorous marine fish, provided they are of high quality.
A Captivating Fish for the Experienced Aquarium
With its unique appearance and liveliness, the Ostracion cubicus is a remarkable addition to any spacious marine aquarium. However, it requires particular attention to water quality, diet, and stress prevention. It is therefore recommended for aquarists with a certain level of experience.
Common name: Yellow Boxfish. This fish has a bright yellow tretodon body with black spots. It is always active and swimming, so it needs an aquarium with plenty of swimming space.
