So I did a dumb thing, I got a baby cowfish. I knew some info about them. I came a cross a tiny probably 1.5 or 2 inch long in a fish store and basically I got emotionally attached to it at the store and did an impulse buy.

I currently have 2 small clown fish, 2 firefish, one cleaner shrimp, one turbo snail, and reef crabs. With the cow fish now..

I am planning on upgrading to a 100 Gallon soon but I was wondering .. What is the minimum size for a cowfish.

Liveaquia lists min at 250g but boxfish can get huge. You probably should consider getting a larger than that tank arranged for it as it grows. A lot of people I've heard end up donating adult boxfish to public aquariums just because they get so big and hard to keep. I would suggest doing a ton of research on them. They are a fish that your entire tank needs to be carefully stocked around them.
