I actually posted a thread for discussion in the fish sub forum but have received almost no response. I’m hoping if you have a longhorn cowfish, maybe you could check it out and discuss!

I saw some puffer fishes blowing in the sand trying to find food on my last vacation. Interesting behavior.
If you have a cowfish, blow over to the link or Karma will happen.

They say 20” long but I think 18” in captivity is more common.

You need to modify this car to look like a cowfish, it would make people with the old :face-with-hand-over-mouth: bird jealous.
If I were more GIF ted I might try to mock one up but I suck at Paint. :cool:

I bet get mine out of my 20L. I must have miss read that back in the day. That explains the nutrient issue.

I’m in the middle of a very long restore/upgrade of a gold 1979. Your two look awesome! The cow fish is very cool also!

Thanks! Good luck with the gold 79. Is the 400 or 403?

And that's about right. They get huge.. This fish, BTW, is one of my favorites. But I will never have a tank big enough and they make me nervous as it's defence mechanism is not a good thing.

I have one and he’s a good fish. Let’s me pet him and I saved his life one night when we had fluctuations in the tank and needed to oxygenate the fish asap. He watches me and looks forward to eating. He’s w a spotted puffer in same aquarium and they do their own thing.
