Default Cowfish/info

Just wondering about where to find some info on cowfish. J&L has this little hovercraft looking cowfish. He's small, yellowy in colour with little black spots. I've always wanted one but all these horror stories about toxins etc.

Thanx in advance George M.

Here's a link that specifies the strength of ostracitoxin, the poison that cowfish can release.

When my tank went through a small crash during the heat a few weeks ago I had a few things die. One of the deaths was my longhorn cowfish. He was one of the last to croak on me, and it didn't appear that he left any poison in the tank. Just need to police them on the polyps, you know, give a knock on the tank when they are thinking of it.
I loved having him in my tank because he was so peaceful and was always wondering what was going on outside the tank

Um, don't tap on the tank...it scares the fish.
