Thornback/Pyramid Cowfish

[shark1]

My lfs has a small pyramid/thornback cowfish right now. I was told that he won't break 7 inches, and would fit in my 100gallon.

Questions:
1. Would 4 maxi jet 1200's be too much flow?
2. I have a foxface, flame angel, 2 clowns and a sailfin tang...will he get along?
3. Has anyone else ever kept one?

I've never kept them. Your flow won't be too much but the potential tank mates are a little too active for this type of species. They don't get that large and are pretty "easy going" fish but they will not compete well for food with the fish you have now. They're high activity level could also be a source of stress.

Cheers
