Christopher Welch –
After months of research, this cowfish finally fits our 120-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. Only issue is it takes time to adjust to the tank environment. Once settled, it’s a great addition.
Anthony Manning –
We’re an expert-level reef keeper and this fish has been stable for over six months. It’s not aggressive and stays in one area. Water parameters need to be tightly controlled, but it’s worth the effort.
Brandon Brown –
The fish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting well. However, it’s not ideal for smaller tanks. We’re monitoring its behavior closely and will keep an eye on compatibility with other species.
