FishyMel,

Thank you for contacting us. We sincerely apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Your Boxfish is doing well. We are anticipating possibly shipping this specimen to you either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week provided he continues to heal.

We will contact you as soon as this amazing fish is ready to be shipped. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns we are always happy to help.

If you don't mind me asking. Why is it going to take another week? Originally, It was just a 5 mm rip wasn't it? Is it having problems healing/ slower than expected?

TIA

FishyMel,

Thank you for your inquiry. When an injured specimen is in our care, we continually evaluate its condition based on the severity of the injury and its rate of healing at the time. Our Aquaculture Coral & Marine Life Facility has estimated this specimen to be ready for shipping sometime next week. While we do our best to accurately predict when the fish will be ready for shipment, this estimation can change. We apologize for the recent change on this, and appreciate your patience while we continue to monitor and treat the Bluespotted Boxfish.

Did this fish ever ship? Do you still have it/ will it be for sale again?
If not, do you have anymore in qt that will be available soon. And lastly, would a male spotted boxfish live with a male Whitley boxfish? Thanks for the info.
