Dr. Seuss Soapfish and Maldives Hogfish Show Up at B-Box Aquarium [Video]
There are few fish that get us more perked up than the unusual looking Dr. Seuss Soapfish (Belonoperca pylei), so it comes as no surprise that we were beside ourselves when some great footage of the fish showed up from Japan-based B-Box Aquarium. And to make the moment that much sweeter, they also had a [...]
Reef Octopus Open Volute Skimmer Demoed by B-Box Aquarium
In December, we stumbled across a new line of POV protein skimmers from Reef Octopus that used a DC controllable needle wheel pump and the same open volute technology we first saw in the RLSS protein skimmers. Having seen this technology in action at MACNA, we knew just how promising it was and how well [...]
B-Box Aquarium Induces Drooling with the Pelicier’s Perchlet
When it comes to ultra rare fish, the Japanese aquarium scene seems to be the most happening place to go. The livestock vendors of the island country are always hauling in the rarest of fish species, and the gang at B-Box Aquarium doesn’t disappoint with their latest acquisition. They recently got their hands on the [...]
Bandit Angelfish Gobbling Up Pellets at B-Box Aquarium
The Bandit Angelfish (Apolemichthys arcuatus), a native of Hawaii, is obviously a gorgeous fish. It has deep black stripes that run head to tail along its midline and anal fin, as well an elegant black outline on its caudal fin.

The Ultra Rare Liopropoma africanum Seen in B-Box Video
The extraordinarily beautiful African Basslet (Liopropoma africanum) is probably one of the rarest fish you’ll ever see in the aquarium trade. It first made its appearance onto the American aquarium scene only a couple of years ago, eventually selling for $2000, but it’s availability has been so limited that most hobbyists have never even heard [...]
French Butterflyfish (Prognathodes guyanensis) Shows Up at B-Box
As far as rare butterflyfish go, the French Butterfly (Prognathodes guyanensis) is arguably one of the rarest and most expensive. This deepwater gem, like many others showing up in the hobby as of late, is a Caribbean native that is typically found at depths greater than 100m (330ft) and is generally inaccessible to most collectors. [...]
Threeline Basslet (Lipogramma trilineatum) Seen on Video
B-Box Aquarium, a Japan-based aquarium company deeply rooted in the rarest of the rare deepwater fish, has gotten their hands another gem, the Threeline Basslet (Lipogramma trilineatum). Much like the other super rare fish showing up in the aquarium trade over the past couple of years, this amazing basslet hails from the extreme depths of [...]
Stunning Royal Gramma Dejongi Hybrid Seen on Video
We first spied the stunning Cuban Gramma dejongi basslet almost two full years ago. And even though we’ve seen plenty of images and videos of these amazing and virtually unattainable fish since then, we still can’t seem to get enough. Unfortunately for our addiction, the story doesn’t stop with just this species, as it gets [...]
Our First Rare Fish Spotting of the New Year
The year is still so young, but we’ve already got a rare fish sighting to report. Over the past couple of months, we’ve seen the Interruptus Angelfish (Centropyge interrupta) show up in only a couple of places. The first was a video clip from Blue Harbor in November. Then LiveAquaria posted a couple of these [...]
