    We had a Cowfish that would swim by our powerhead and one day he got stuck onto it and we were not able to get him off of it in time and we lost him. We also had snails attach to it. We put a cover over it and it works good for us.

    Well I feed pellets too, but he won't even try them. If he feels deprived it's his problem!! I am planning on going to the LFS soon though and I'll pick up some brine.
