The **Longhorn Cowfish** is a fascinating and distinctive addition to any aquarium. Recognized for its unique horns extending from its head, this fish offers a truly remarkable appearance. Typically, the **Longhorn Cowfish** displays a pale yellow-white hue adorned with light blue spots, but its prominent horns are its standout feature. These horns are quite hard and sharp, so caution is advised for those with acrylic tanks.

In the wild, the **Longhorn Cowfish** can grow up to 20 inches, though it usually remains smaller in captivity. A minimum of a 90-gallon tank is essential for its growth and well-being. While generally considered reef-safe, they may nibble on tubeworms. Providing ample established rock can help the **Longhorn Cowfish** acclimate to aquarium life, offering algae for grazing.

Keeping a **Longhorn Cowfish** can be challenging due to its ability to release toxins when threatened, potentially causing a tank crash. They are also slow eaters, so it's best to house them with tank mates that allow them ample time to eat.
