I will never get a cow fish or box fish or any of those kind of fish they can release poisons at any time threaten or water conditions
JustinKBreen said:I am a little late into the discussion but I would highly suspect the cowfish became stressed by the new addition thus releasing poison killing off everything. Lucky you got the survivors out when you did.
JustinKBreen said:What I ment was yes some outside source may have killed the cowfish, though I suspect the new addition to be the culprit, however once the cowfish died the poisons released poisoned the whole tank, which could/would kill off everything else in the tank.
There could be another issue at stake, but how does the saying go? The simplest answer is usually right?

and I think the cowfish is so cute because it's so odd looking. I'll definitely have to study him before every making a choice to get one
