have two cowfish for sale. These are Cowfish, not Clownfish...

They are a great fish, and get along with all fish, but my dominant damnsels did not take to them too well. My damsels are territorial, and kept chasing the cowfish. I pulled them from my tank and put them in a separate tank because I didn't want to stress them out. They are doing extremely well and are extremely healthy. They even follow you from side to side in the tank! These guys are reef safe. I feed them as with all my fish a dietary mixture. Some days dry food (brine) and other days frozen/defrosted brine, mysid, Formula1, Formula2

I purchased them for $40 each, but will be willing to let them go for $60 total.

Are you sure?! The cowfish Im thinking of are certainly NOT reef safe.

I was told that they were reefsafe by my LFS. I guess I should have known better. This is what they look like.

I would definitely NOT call them reef safe. They will likely pick at soft and stony corals after time.

Hey pupchow. They are about 2 inches-maybe slighty larger.
