Pablo is so stinking cute, I can see why people are tempted by them. 😊

Whats wrong with the people disliking this video... have you no love for Pablo?

i had a cow fish in the early 1970's, his tank mates were lionfish, clarks clownfish, cleaner wrasse, seahorse, a huge anenome, forceps butterfly, and a male masked crab (corystes, a british native with very long arms). Like pablo my cow fish spat water at me and loved to be lifted up and made quite audiable sounds, always very excited when i entered the room, eating most foods and lived about 4 years till the tank over heated one night.

Very informative and interesting video. I don’t keep fish, nor do I plan to, but I truly enjoyed learning about Pablo.

Did I just hear you compare the death of a boxfish with a fart in an elevator😂😂?

I'm completely obsessed with fresh water puffer fish. I try to read and watch all I can about those little weirdos, and yesterday I remembered that puffers have a close salty relative. The box fishes! Searching up "box fish" in KZfaq had your video in the first 5 videos displayed. This video is absolutely fabulous, a practicality perfect mix of entertainment and enducation. I currently lack the skills to set up and maintain a healthy marine tank, but if I ever do, you can be sure I'll get one of these little cardboard boxes with fins. You've earned a new subscriber, friend.

I have a yellow boxfish named Antonio. He is from far the most interactive fish that I have. In the first week, he learned to eat in my hand. If I point my phone to the tank he runs to appear in some photo, sometimes it just gets boring cause it's impossible to take a coral photo without him. He accepted all food that I offered until today. I hope that this list could help someone.

I had a cow fish for 10 yrs his name was T-bone he got up to 10 inches long he was really cool.

I love these fish but I didn't know about the armoured shell so thanks for teaching me something new!

I beg to differ on the Box Fish not winning any swimming contest. I lived on Okinawa in the 80's and caught all my aquarium fish out of the ocean, up until I had stumbled upon a beautiful yellow polka dotted Box Fish like yours the hardest fish I had ever caught was Moorish Idol's. That little Box Fish wore my ass out, he was surprisingly fast for having such small fins, but I did get him, I tricked him into swimming into a bundle of dead Staghorn Coral which I netted and brought to the surface. I can't speak to the longevity of the little guy as I gave him to a friend with a much larger tank and don't recall him mentioning it after that.

I just discovered this channel and I would die for Pablo

Pablo is sooo cute! Thanks for the box fish lesson, very much appreciated 💛💖💛

I saw these guys a lot diving and always wondered how they survived being so freaking slow. Thanks for the answer!

I have owned a yellow boxfish for 3 months now and i have had no issues. it has never harmed my corals. It will take brine shrimp from my gorgonians. he shares a tank with two clowns, a flame hawk and a starry eyed blenny. great video.

Thank you for this amazing video!

That is AMAZING… thank you for sharing 🐠

Pablo is indeed an absolute legend

Cute video. 👍 I always loved how the box fish look.

I was literally laughing so much about the fart in the lift

Such an enjoyable and informative video!! And I don't even own a tank. Thank you.

Ive got one. Wanted one for ages. Very cool fish.

I really dont understand how you are capable of dropping rapid fire fart jokes and not crack. I wouldn't have been able to contain myself. Your professionalism is unrivaled 👊👍. Thanks for deciding to put and little more of yourself in these videos.

You earned a sub just for comparing a fish's defence mechanism to a fart in an elevator and a Dutch oven lol

Pablo is adorable!! :) I was looking for a good video to showcase the boxfish movements. This one was perfect so thank you for sharing. :) I sculpt fish out of clay and then place them in replica aquariums/natural settings that I create with either resin or clay (sometimes both) and I want to start including boxfish. I will have to practice sculpting them a bit first and it should be fun. :) - Heidi

I’ve had my box fish for a few weeks and he settled in soo well, he rides the backs of my other fish

Good informational video

Awww Pablo is a little cutie ❤️❤️❤️

Just found your channel and I love it

I love your videos!

Pablo is brilliant! Would love to try one again one day! Had a Hawaiian one long time ago that disappeared after a few days..

I just got a box fish, what do you feed yours? I've only been able to get mine to eat brine shrimp

How long did it take for your boxfish to start eating and what did you start him off with?

I think its hilarious how such a cute, funny-looking fish can be responsible for so much death.

'Boxy'is our main tankmate, currently in a 50gallon. Originally he was company for our seahorses but we lost them last year so now hes centre stage in a mixed reef and maybe 5inches long now. WOW 3 YEARS WENT QUICKLY

"I'm not Patrick" - Boxfish

We need to see more of you in the videos :)

I am happy you made this video This is my experience : i have my boxfish now for a month its in a 1200liter system that have 2 tanks and 1 sump in the first week he releasd a neurotoxic posion and all my fish ‘paste out’ i whut clean the tank next day bud all the fish where back ‘awake’ its like the fish are sleeping its strange and stressd me out now everiting is back ok

I love your videos .❤

I had a cowfish, it was a white spot / Ich magnet. But he was adorable and very interactive.

I came here bc I was watching asmr eating boxfish and I wanted to see what they look like alive lol

“A fart in an elevator” Best analogy I have ever heard 👍

I know you posted this video awhile ago but I was wondering what is that food you are giving them that's on the glass?

Hey there nice little Video. Have u ever seen him Munch on clams? Tridacna? An how mich did he grow in your home?

I love box fish and have wanted one ever since learning about them. I’ve still yet to try my luck but maybe some day.

Love all the videos!!! I would love to ask if you would QT a Box Fish with any chemicals? I wanted one for years and you cleared up my concerns. Thanks.

Love this aquarium

Hey man what is that thing you are using to feed them at 3:20?

They are cute! Always heard a tough fish to keep though, them and cow fish

Only you can make me laugh watching a box fish video 🤣

Love these little guys, but don’t have the proper environment for one. I enjoyed this video a lot! 👍🏻👍🏻

wow very lucky to have a Hawaiian black box , I have wanted a blue box and a black box for the entire time in the hobby. Tried 3 black ones over the course of 16 years and tried 1 blue box as they are much pricier than the black ones , never had a lick of luck getting them to eat tried a ton of foods . Currently keep a pair of yellows like pablo , they are much easier to get eating and like you mentioned qt to make sure of no ich . Really wanting to try getting a black box or a blue as soon as I set up another qt system , this gives me hope . I have noticed fish are coming in a lot healthier than when I tried so I have seen some really nice healthy looking black boxfish at my lfs but lack a qt set up so I have had to pass . Thanks for sharing

Can you have multiple in a tank? and can they die from eachothers toxins?

I had a box fish for two years...he was great, really good fish.... very peaceful and energetic...he ate real good..brine shrimp and even marine flake food ..also live blood worms.

Thank you that was helpful

This box fish is AWESOME!!!!! I would love to have one.

Hey there, I just brought a boxfish for my tank and he as been bitting at my sea cucumber. What you ever seen this before or heard about it? I have my video of it about to upload on my channel

Gud work bro keep it up

What is your quarantine procedure and methods for this type of fish?

I’ve been wanting a boxfish and I’ve been doing research does your boxfish have to have live corals can it live with artificial stuff

great video! marine fish are so amazing

Liked for Pablo the boxfish.

That background music is epic 😂

He's beautiful and he looks so unique 😊 what size tank does he need to be in.. great video

I got a box fish my coral banded shrip kept going for it everytime it passed it it was only in my tank for 4hr before it kill everything inside my tank including itself so yes it does kill itself if it releases the toxin in it tank I had a 300l tank. Even tho I lost everything I didn't let this put me off and started again. As cute as they are never again will I add one to my system

Thats a cool fish

What are you feeding Pablo and what are you using to hold the food?

HAHAHAHA ITS SO TERRIBLE BUT THE ANALOGY OF THE FART IN THE ELEVATOR REALLY GOT ME

Could you send me a link to the food that you have on the glass for feeding please?

Pablo such a good boyy

I’m an expert aquarist with a 180 gallon and most of my species are triggers. They are peaceful. I’ve seen triggers with these fish before so I’ll consider getting a fairly large one. I have a FOWLR with a few corals that I don’t care about. But nobody touches them! My tank consists of damsels, triggerfishes, a hawk fish, a banana wrasse, a dottyback, and a vlaminji tang which is 1 foot long btw.

I love them so many much! But I I can't keep one.

Pablo must be one of my favourite reef fish 😍 hes so sick! I love the way it swims like a forklift 🤣💜

I still want one

😎 Educational I would only recommend for advanced hobbies with the time and space to QT first like you recommended. These fish are bad as spiny box fish i love those little ones also one day I'll get one that will survive

Yes just bought a canary wrasse a few hours ago and it's missing no body found😢

the entire family of tetraodontiformes seems to be very intelligent and show similar behaviors in many ways. puffer fish as well as porcupine fish / burrfish also spit water and follow people around when they move next to their tank. highly intelligent animals with an interesting personality.

"Silent but deadly" 😂😂😂😂

ive had 4 white spot boxfish and never had an issue when they died , i also assumed that they only release that toxin when stressed

what about green spotted puffers

I want box fish or cow fish so badly one day. Very cute and unique looking

My sister had one they are difficult to keep

PABLO IS SO CUTEEEE

haha" not unlike a frat in an elevator this version of an under water duch oven" best think I an heard all day! still got the little guy? how fast did it grow?

I love pablo

Fart jokes were presented in a classy way that anyone could appreciate.

New life goal.

I need a Pablo for myself

Yes i Need it a box fish!

I have personally had a box fish and one day I came home to it dead and everything in my tank closed up and later died. I happen to know that they can wipe out an entire tank.

one question can i use any hangon filter for saltwater aquarium

You Make learning fun

yes. i do want boxfish. i will not be able to care so i will live vicariously through you.

I missed not having a video last week :(

I love my yellow box fish he is cute and loves me feeding him.

How about Toby puffer fish?

I had the same thing happen 2 me had my box fish for 2 days was eating really well then he went missing I never seen him again and I couldn't find the body it had no effect on my other fish in the tank. I miss my little box fish they are one of my favourite fish.

My Uncle got a box fish thinking it would be fun, his entire tank of 15 years was wiped out within two weeks, killing all of his fish, some that were there since the beginning. He promptly got rid of it and started over with new fish.

i love you pablo

Can you please make a video on just an overview on the tank?
