Longhorned Cowfish!!!
They are a great little fish if you keep it alone, like the only fish in your tank! Being an aggie we named ours Bevo.

Cons: Cowfish are very prone to ich
When they die they can release a toxin that kills everything
Get Huge! 16" or more!
Picked on by tougher fish (almost every other fish)

Pros: they almost act like dogs
can pet them (Bevo would swim up and bump our fingers)
hand feed them
beg at the glass for food
Follow you throughout the room via glass

They are really kool fish but a big commitiment
