We try to only post about fish which are available for sale when they are exceptional specimens and this pair of Shaw’s boxfish is one of those deals. This coolwater boxfish is an exceptional beauty from Southern Australian waters. at $899, the pair of fish if not cheap, especially since the male hasn’t developed full adult coloration which should kick in when he reaches 6-8″ at full adult size. The image below shows what a studly male Shaw’s boxfish can look like in full adult garb. For more information about coolwater take a moment to visit Steve Weast’s webpages on his coolwater fish and invertebrate system.
