experince with your cowfish

[darkreef]

Mine sleeps on my wave pump at night .
Iv heard of them in a all sps tank but that's curel if he's not the first fish in
Because he has the flow to get use to plus the fish .
My return is 1200 gph split . And a w25 .

They do not touch any corals , but my hit up your sponges if you can't feed him 3x daily .


Mine showed more interested in food last night mysis .
Going to buy marine grazers today .

He was starting to yellow up last night but now seems just as black .

Really hope I don't loose him he's so cute

I bought him marine grazers and he wouldn't leave it for two seconds , even slept on it. I think there a must for any cow and box fish as it is stationary and they don't have to chase it .

Later that night I swaped the rest of my tank over . When I put a rock with algae in he went nuts and is now grooming every rock competely clean <3

Safe to say he is going to do well ! And he's loosing his black color .
Can't wait till he's all yellow and blue spots !

Cool fish. I've always wanted one but too chicken s**t. Worried about the effects on my other fish if it happens to die.

I unpacked your box fish myself the night it arrived and man was I tempted to take it home with me..

Yah I did a lot of humming and hawwing ...
They only release poisen if attacked by fish . Defense
There are lots of reports saying if they die naturally or by getting stuck nothing happens
Its extremely rare in a aquarium . (Unlike the box fish if it dies everything else does)


Yes I'm surprised you didn't take one for that big of tank .
Maybe when mine needs a new home when he's 2 feet long il message you eli lol .
Also I need some rock (small pieces not much 20 ish lbs ) concepts is looking pretty dry !

I will eventually get a box home...I like them medium to small size so I grow them for years to come...
Let me know your timing and when you are ready for rock as then we will meets to rock your tank..
