Are cowfish safe

Iam thinking of getting a cowfish any advise? Plz

Safe for whom? They are not reef safe, and they release a poisonous toxin when stressed or dies that will kill everything in your tank. They are also massive and require a minimum 250g tank. Definitely for the expert

I have just started off with my marine tank 120ltr 2 clowns 1 yellow tang 1 fire fish 1 goby 1 cleaner shrimp so it's a no on the cowfish

Yeah afraid so, the tangs not recommended either in such a small tank. Look after him, he is very likely to get sick if he is stressed

Definitely no-go for the cowfish.... these are considered difficult to expert level fish. And a 120 liter (32 gallon) is way, WAY too small for a yellow tang. They are very active swimmers that require a minimum of a 6ft long tank like a 150 gallon (568 liter) or larger.

Can u tell me what the safe amount of fish is for a 120 litre tank plz

Depends on the fish! In your size tank, maybe 4-5 small fish. I have 6 small fish and one medium size in a 200litre (55g) what kind of fish you thinking? What so you have in there now?

Agreed on this. A tang should be taken back. You could maybe get a coral beauty?
