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.
