Cowfish and Zoas.

[Timanator]

Would these fishes be a good to keep in a 10 gal nano with zoas and a few cleaner shrimps? Are they very hard to keep?


Thanks.

i don't like to give second hand advice and i'm not speaking for experience here so maybe read up a bit more before you try but from what i've read i would say no - a cowfish in general should be in a species tank - all by itself - if stressed they can release toxins i believe. most species also get quite large look here:

How about a Lawnmower Blennie with the Zoas and shrimps then?

I wouldnt do a lawnmower blenny in a nano either... they are grazers and would get pretty hungry in a nano.
