Hi guys! I currently have a 80 gallon tank with a blue spotted toby puffer - I’m upgrading to a 180 and in between getting a cow fish or box fish. Any advice, recommendations, and knowledge would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

Cowfish eat constantly and grow very fast I would have the 180 set up first before you get a cow or box fish. Mine went from Tater Tot to almost 5 inches in 6 months. They will outgrow a 180 quick and rehoming him will be hard.
