i saw one of these guys 6 months ago and wanted it sooo bad but my lfs guy said he will get too big for my tank(40g)...
i found another one and i have an upgrade coming soon(150g)
i dont think i can pass on this fish again..
does anyone have any info on these fish/any advice
he would be going into a 40g with a small niger trigger(will be moved to the new tank), a coral beauty, and a pair of percs
what do these fish eat?
aggresive?
care level?
mixing with others?
thanks guys

A 150 would be a nice tank size but the only area where you run into a problem is if something harasses or picks on the cowfish. If something makes the cowfish feel threatened, he is going to release a toxin that could very well kill all of the fish in your tank.

Yeah, it's a rare occasion when you find an lfs owner who does not try to make a sale, and a stupid one at that.
