Longhorn Cowfish (M) Lactoria cornuta
An interesting fish, although cute yellow juveniles grow large, become less colorful and the long horns get progressively shorter. Fares best if not kept with aggressive food competitors. Adults are easily startled by sudden movement or by turning on the room lights when the tank is dark and they may collide with the glass or become wedged in the decor. When stressed, it can exude a toxin that may wipe out an entire tank. Remove the source of the stress or the cowfish immediately if it is observed being harassed or dying.
Feed a mixed diet of meaty foods, including chopped shrimp, squid, clams and fish. Also frozen rations with marine algae and vitamin-enriched foods.
