Also read that the fish must be alive to produce this toxin, so if it dies before producing the toxin, it wont be released into the tank. |
That paper you quote says nothing about cowfish, only trunk fish. Same family, different genus and species. Until someone can post a study showing that members of the genus Lactoria or Acanthostracion produce toxins its just heresay.
