Fish

[ForumPete58]

How bad of an idea is it to mix a picasso trigger, a yellow striped maroon clown, and a cowfish? I have read that if I get a cow with some size to it I could put it in my tank. I know that cow's are exremely timid and weak. But both the trigger and clown are very small(about an inch).
Thanks,

In general it depends on the tank size but I would definitely not mix a Cowfish and a Trigger in the same tank. Number 1 reason why is they are in the same family of fish and most fish don't like those in the same family. 2nd reason is cowfish and boxfish are very well known for releasing a very deadly toxin if they are stressed and in the presence of a Trigger, I'm would just about guarentee a Cow would be stressed. Anyway, hope this helps and good luck.
