bracguy81 Hobbyist Posts: 74 Kudos: 53 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-May-2004	In my LFS, there is a fish called a cube fish. It is small, see-through, kinda looks like spit in the tank. If you know what I am talkin about let me know. Thanks, Brac

I've not heard of a freshwater boxfish before, the only one I can think of that may resemble one being a freshwater/brakish 'puffer'. As for those, I don't know of any that are opaque. Please clarify whether its fresh or saltwater.

In the wild they get two feet long (or so I read), and apparently only gets about a foot long in captivity (though I don't believe that). They can be aggressive like any other puffer. However, they are not clear in the least, so I have no idea what you're talking about...

No such common name exists. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.
