We have a thornback cowfish, and there is nothing we dislike about her! Tanica (the cowfish) is in a 30 gallon cube (she's only a baby, about an inch long, she'll need a bigger home, she's growing) in the family room where we spend most of our time, and we watch her a lot, she's just so cute...we have a 210 gallon reef tank, but she's more fun to watch!

Cowfish have loads of personality. She spends the day grazing at things on the rocks. She eats flake food, frozen, loves algae (the tank is a macroalgae tank, so when I move pieces around or shake them, little stuff floats away, and she is on it). Her favorite food appears to be Rod's frozen. They can take bigger things into their little mouths than you might think. They can also move faster than you would think, although probably not quick enough to get food if kept in a tank w/ faster fish.

They know who you are, and that you feed them; if you go to the tank, they come to look at you, and go up to the top, assuming that you're going to be putting in some food. We would highly recommend one!
