Moo.. picked up a happy looking 3" scribbled long horn cowfish today, with minimal research AND on impulse because I had just had two margaritas with my lunch at Hacienda Las Glorias prior to stopping by LFS.
Now that he/she is happily hovering around with my 40 red leg hermits, 30 or so snails, etc I read that some cowfish: Eat crabs, eat snails, excrete toxins when upset.
I would like to keep the cow on the farm as long as it's happy floating around and eating frozen mysis and stuff, but if it's going to be all poisonous and crab-killing, I may have to gently relocate it to it's former home.
By the way, it has creepy flourescent blue eyes that look like little LEDs and I got it for a mere $15. 8)
He/she appears to be quite comfortable at the moment, but it's hard to tell if a fish that is shaped like an origami box with spikes and flourescent eyes is happy, or just ready to go on a cow-rampage and kill everything in my tank.
What do you think....... :?
