does anyone have much experiance or info about the camel cowfish?
 
You mean the marine Tetrosomus gibbosus boxfish I assume. This would be better posted in the marine forum, but here goes;

Stays small at 3-4", eats crunchy inverts and may nip at coral. Usually fine with other fish. Like all boxfish it is technically capable of releasing poison if stressed, but in many years of the aquarium business I've never seen or heard of one doing it.

Cool fish
 
cowfish are not worth the investment to much of a risk very fragile and 99.9% of the time die in captivity save your money.

i want them so bad that i think i'm going to the point that i'm getting a fake coral aquarium with live sand and a camel cowfish.
 
I would take some time to shop around for a rare and more safer investment then that camel cowfish they are beautiful but very fragile.

camel cowfish are they hardiest of cowfish and my passion for them will not stop, i've had years of experiance, without 1 single death. (except the fish i use as feederfish).
