Solorensis boxfish gender
Hello Bob or Lorenzo,
I purchased a boxfish through the mail. It was suppose to be a Whitley, male with blue coloring.
<Wowzah, very rare... I have only seen/photographed females>
I received a scribbled (solorensis) which is fine with me.
<A very nice species>
But I cant tell if its male or female. Its brown like the females, its
only 2" in length. It has the bar protruding toward the face like a male. When do the males turn blue? Could this be a male that has not changed yet?
<Depending on "conditions" at two to three inches... Could well be.>
Either way it seams healthy and eating.
Thanks, Darren
<Bob Fenner>
