Hello i got a box fish for 6 days now and he wont eat ive done almost everything plz help
 
What size tank do you have him in. Also what are you trying to feed him? Some fish take longer to begin eating in a new aquarium than others so don't panic quite yet. If you know his collection date or approximate time out of the ocean that would help as well

10 gallon qt thank for now
 
It might just be that it's uncomfortable in such a small tank. Obviously qt needs to happen but if he is behaving normal aside from not eating I would consider putting him in a larger system if one is available (not necessarily the show tank but smaller if you have one). Other than that try live foods. It will eventually eat if it is starving. Continue offering it, should eventually come around unless it is sick
 
Liveaquaria states: "When first introduced, the Cubicus Boxfish prefers a diet of live brine shrimp or bloodworm"
