    Triggerfish Vs. Lionfish.. PLEASE HELP!

    Your triggers are young. They will grow up and they will reach sexual maturity. They will NOT tolerate other triggers in their territory once they reach sexual maturity. One day one will decide the rest are infringing on his territory and that will be the end of the others and likely any small...

    Triggerfish Vs. Lionfish.. PLEASE HELP!

    I agree with Jay. Really only one trigger per tank. And for triggers they need a huge tank, 180-220 gal min. Lions also need hides holes. I’ve seen many diving. They are usually in a hole in the rocks hiding out, or ne’er their hole.

    Newbie 24 gallon all-in-one reefer.

    You will have issues with having more than one species of clown. General rule is no more than a pair of one species. Never two different species. I’d recomend the oscelaris the other two will eventually kill it.

    Lionfish dilemma

    You would be better off rehoming the lion. If you really want a lion and have the space you’d need large fish as tank mates. Anything that fits in the lions mouth (they have big mouths) will eventually be dinner. I’d look into smaller lion like the dwarves. They have smaller mouths.

    I don’t recomend UV filters. They don’t do much other than kill useful things.

    Newbie 24 gallon all-in-one reefer.

    The main problem what ever you do don’t raise the salinity very fast. The fish can handle low salinity, I’d guess the blennie’s death was a coincidence. They are hard to keep in small tanks. A decrease in salinity can happen pretty fast and the fish will be fine. A sudden increase will cause...

    Got Out 13 Years Ago, Slowly Getting Back In - Just Bought a Tank

    Your tank is large volume wise but not dimension wise. You are limited in the tang department because of the dimensions of the tank. Most tangs need length to swim and you only have 4 feet. Here is my list of possibles. Yellow Purple Tomini Kole Scopas Chevron Pretty much only bristle tooth...
