catalina goby · 08/07/2006, 05:56 PM

i have a lhcowfish. i would like to add him to my 65 gal reef tank.

randy the chemistry guy has one in his reef tank.

i was wondering, if it released its poison (death or whatever) would it poison BOTH my fish and corals?

or just the fish?

anyone know?

i have one and it is said that it will kill everything including itself ive had mine for 3 yrs with an emperor angile and a sargoson trigger its like a boxing match at feedings and there still all alive normally the cow just leaves the area for a minute then comes back but there in a 210 gal tank plus i understand the ok in a reef when there young but when they get bigger they start to pick at corals they have a tramendos apitite when the get bigger hope this helps
