Just about anyone? It's not especially rare, you just don't see them in stores very often.

Ive never seen one.I am going to get a 5 or 6 foot cube minus the height.So I'am not worried plus I have already a longhorn cowfish and they dont stay small.This fish is in good hands.

WHERE IS THE PIC. I say kudos to who ever takes on a challenge like that. I hope your fish lives a long healthy life.

When all the other stores start bringing them in, then I'll concede my point.

I hope they don't Albert.

I had a couple adopted Stars and Stripes puffers that could barely turn around in a 155g.

I won't even touch this.

Nice puffer.

Should I mention they eat away all the silicone in your tank ? Or maybe not....

Okay you win, I'm not going to order a fish I can't find a decent home for to win an argument. I know of several people that are keeping them around North america though.

Wow! A bit of controversy on this one.....

No one can be happy.The fish is in a good home,I have as good of chance as anyone of keeping this fish healthy and happy.Last time I checked cowfish get around 2 feet full grown.How many of those do you see in fish stores?Atleast 1 per store at all times.When was the last time you seen one of those in a tank?Just be happy for me and there is nothing wrong with buying this fish.I will keep posting on this topic so you guys can see how he is doing.I talk to a guy on grimmreefers.com about this fish.He grows them out to a foot and a half then get s them to people with larger aquariums.I am now thinking of a 6 foot cube for him so space will be plenty.

Thanks for the fish Albert.
