A boxfish would take down most any other fish in a fight.
Before the fight actually, as they release neurotoxin as soon the opponent shows up.
Don’t mess with the boxfish.
Every fish except the fastest is not the fastest fish.
There’s always a faster fish…
Big if true

They are surprisingly maneuverable, though:
In typical engineering, stability and maneuverability are often opposing goals. Boxfish have evolved to embrace instability — but with remarkable control. Their body shape increases drag slightly compared to more streamlined fish, yet that compromise enables agile turns and precise swimming within coral labyrinths — vital for escaping predators and navigating terrain.

that boxfish car looks good
Yeah, but let’s see how well the sail fish does in the ring!
Yea but the fish box is much better fish to get in fish Tetris.
I hate to be the “actually” guy (no I don’t, who am I kidding)…
But if you want to score a tetris, you’ll need a very linear kind of fish.
And the other kind of special scoring would requires a T-shaped fish that’s good at spinning.
As long as the box fish stays in its lane, I don’t see a problem here…
look at the sunfish. it’s the dumbest most useless and inedible fish in the world.
it just floats around, existing, seeing the world. no predators. no goals. no job.
sounds pretty nice, eh?
not so dumb anymore is it?
No predators? Guess you haven’t seen the video of an orca literally exploding one with a headbutt so that it’s calf could eat it…
Sponge Bob Square Fish!
