clown trigger
I am strongly considering getting a clown trigger, their markings are just amazing to me... however I know that they can be extremely aggressive, i would also like a dwarf or volitan lion... I would like to put them in a 72g bowfront FOWLR tank. Do you guys think that the trigger would harass the lion to the point of death or would it be possible to keep them together perhaps if i introduced the trigger after the lion...? In addition if you dont think the lion is a good match with a trigger perhaps a square spot anthia? Would they get large enough to be compatable with the clown trigger?
Any other tank mate suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!

The Anthius would be lunch , as soon as the Lion could eat it,,,,,A Clown Trigger and a lion ought to be ok, as i have them here,,,,based on size ,,,
My clown is not that bad, provided food is available

Yeah clown triggers are great looking fish. Ive seen them housed with lion fish many many times, so they should be okay.

Clown trigger and a 3' snowflake,,,,no probs,,,,well, gets a lil dicey around feeding time, if they are extra hungry,,but no major problems,,,
