Longhorn cowfish?/ pacific boxfish?

Was wondering if anyone recommends them?

Probably not a good idea.

I've noticed that you've been asking questions about stocking fish lately.
Personally, I check out the fish profiles on liveaquaria.com before buying fish. They are pretty accurate and tell you about tank size requirements and behavior

Oh ok thanks ill take a look at what they have to say

Box fish are pretty cool had one and was shy at first and refused to eat at first until I threw some store bought shrimp and started off with that he then moved on to eat frozen foods and pellets.

I have both a Boxfish and a Cowfish in my 120 gallon reef set up. Both are super friendly and nudge at my hand when I add seaweed to the holding clip in my tank.
I hear if stressed or death occurs they can release a toxin that can kill everything in the tank.
Ive never had any problems with mine, but add with caution

Awesome fish but deadly when stressed.

Oh ok cool yeah I'm thinking of getting one of each for my 100 gal tank

Yeah I hear if they get stressed could wipe out a whole tank but what would cause a fish to get stressed?

Being in a small tank..... if they eventually grow up they'll get huge and the 100gallon would be to small and could cause stress

If it does die and poisons your tank your going to need to run carbon and do water changes, so keep some handy if you plan on getting one

Oh ok I see well I would move them to a bigger tank once they got bigger and thanks for all the good info
