Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

I'm thinking of getting a scrawled cowfish. Any way to tell male from female? Any lfs has them?

But I would like to know if they are compatible with my filefishes. If they aren't I wouldn't get them.

usually compatible with tankmates that are non aggressive, needs plenty of swimming room, frightened of sudden movements. House in a low traffic area, can be kept in pairs, may release toxins when dying, any dying boxfish must be removed or prevent it from being harassed by tankmates.

Please read before purchasing..There are few Disadvantage's of keeping them..

Cheers!

Agreed, I know they are toxic. Strangely they are listed as non reef safe but they are found in seagrass areas, which would mean they don't eat coral? I'm actually more worried that the cowfish might eat my filefish due to size difference haha

They Do Eat/Nip Corals bro..Hmm I Think Should be no Prob As The Tilefish Is very fast and The cowfish swims very slowly Its a Endangered Species..FYI..Yes They like to Linger On Seagrass Bed's In the ocean..If i Were you i wont Get This Cowfish.If This Fish Dies or Getts Stress It will poison the tank..Its bound to get Stressed as New tankmates might Bully,Water Etc....

So Think about it bro..

Cheers!
