Anyone keeping a Cowfish with their triggers? I have always wanted a Cowfish but not sure how things would work out with my blue hawed trigger. LFS kid told me would be fine but I want to reach out to you guys for advice I could trust.

I would think it would be ok. Dwarf puffers can be kept with triggers without issues so I don't see why a Cowfish wouldn't be ok.
Keep in mind Cowfish don't stay small like a Toby or a lot of other Boxfish do. They can get to about 2ft long!

cowfish are super docile. No ones going to bother it. A blue throat especially. You should be fine as long as you have a large enough tank to keep the cowfish

I've got one in with a blue throat, they're fine together. The only thing that bothers my cow is a cleaner wrasse. It won't leave him alone.
