Well the Dwarf grows 6 to 7" and as for a cowfish, well first it will depend on which the cow fishes. Now even that the dwarf grows just under 7", the smallest cowfish grows just under 6" and that would be risky to attempt. Now one the larger cowfishes grows 20" and a 180 gal tank would be needed to house it. With any these lionfishes, one must understand that when very hungry, they are able to expand there jaws wider then one realizes. ><{{{{"> Buddy


:We are just starting on this adventure and want to know if dwarf lions and cowfish can successfully be mixed. Also, we would like to have 2 dwarf lions and a cowfish. What other fish can be included in the tank for color and daytime/evening activity? What is the final size we would need for this setup. We don't want to keep buying tanks, so we would like to start with the right size. Is there any good references out there for what we need to know. We have fresh water, but are clueless about saltwater.

:Thanks
