Richard,

Damn you don't live closer I could help you treat them as the other guy backed out on the sale of my 25gal. Yup, by you wanting to make sure you save the cowfish (long horn) I imagine its gotten you got quite attached to it. They are extremely personable fish, love them.

Perhaps ask if you can borrow a tank or two from some of the fellow reefers. Sometimes people just have their QT tank lying around till they need.Or it may be in your best interest to go out and buy a 25 gal (depends on size of fish) or so for future treatments. As you will find with cowfish there are very seceptible to ick once they come in contact with it. Being that they are scaleless fish.

Also to if transfering fish into QT tank... Please don't exspose cowfish to air. Get a container and scoop fish with water left in it. This helps reduce the stress to the fish.

Another option is asking another reefer online in your area if they have a treatment tank all ready to go.

Last option, if you leave the fish in the tank and decide to do what most reefers do and go to the LFS and buy products like "Kick Ick", then watch the cowfish if its to heavily infected cause you may wanta remove before it releases it toxin. Thus killing your WHOLE tank. Garlic all food though.

Let the force be with ya.
