After my thread on the yellow box fish and reading further into the subject found a brilliant website which had all the different species of boxfish. I found this on the site about the reticulate boxfish which gets to 4 inches and wondered has anyone had one, are they more readily available and what sort of size tank could you go for?



Ostracion solorensis Bleeker 1852, the Reticulate Boxfish. Indo-Australian. To four inches in length. A great beauty and good choice for home aquarists. More and more available. A photo of a female Gili Air, Lombok, Indonesia, and male in S. Sulawesi.


Thanks for any advice

The site I went on is: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/boxfishes.htm
It is great, there are some more adult pictures of the cow horned and yellow spotted boxfish for those that were as curious as I am to what they could look like bigger. :)
 
They're not th emost popular in the trade, yet I've seen them for sale before... Don't have much more than that though, sorry
