My newest fish
#1
It's called a cowfish. He is very very small right now, no bigger than a penny is round.
Cost=$40.00

Special features of interest about cowfish:

Rather than a skeleton, they have a body of exterior fused plates that form a box.
Their unique method of swimming, called ostraciform swimming, causes them to look as if they are hovering.
They have no pelvic skeleton, so they lack pelvic fins.
They have the ability to release ostracitoxin, a poison that can kill all tank inhabitants.


Just a little something I read about the Cowfish... That last one would have me concerned, after spending a decent amount on a few fish. Having a fish that can kill all the other fish in the tank, just by releasing a toxin could be a bad thing...

Also, it appears that depending on the breed of cowfish, it can grow anywhere from 6-20 inches long.

Cool tank!
I set up a 20 gal tall afew years ago. Fresh water. I had bad luck. My tropical fish kept dying. Twice because I would think, how haw about one more fish, then it would end up having ick and kill them all.
This time, my neighbors kid plucked a few wild koi from a local lake and they have been doing great since.
