Yeah I've heard people say they didn't have any issues with the toxin warnings of the fish either. Just wasn't sure. But why did the anemone eat him???I love cowfish and boxfish and I know about the toxin which I have been hearing about for decades but of the 9 or 10 that I have had over the years maybe half of therm died in the tank and I never had any problem with toxins. Of course I wouldn't eat the thing
This was my last one and he died right after I got him. The anemone ate him and didn't look like he had an upset stomach or anything.
The real problem with these fish is that they get huge.
I have spent time with them in the sea and they are quite common, but big, much bigger than most home tanks can handle.
Thank you! I didn't know there was a smaller version.Ostracion solorensis only gets to 5 inches, 2 females were on DD this morning, might be a more suitable and easier to sustain variety for people to try as their first boxfish
How fast did your cowfish grow in the year you had it? But poor thing getting crushed by rock work is so sad and terrible!I have had a couple of them. First one was a white potted boxfish that died when some of the rock work collapsed on him. I found him the next day and there were no issues with my tank. I also had a cowfish for over a year and it was an awesome fish. I've read they can't handle high flow but I think that is false. I had 2 surge tanks that would blow pretty good and it had no problems.
