can i have all these fish in a 46 gallon?

[aboutmine]

i have a 46 gallon tank itz been cycling for 6 weeks now i only have 1 fish (lion fish) can i add:
a) 2 maroone clown fish
b) powder brown tang
c) clown trigger
will they survive in my 46 gallon tank please help me...???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

in one word, no. the lion, i'm assuming is Pterois volitans, will grow to 15". the maroons will work. the powder brown doesn't, in my opinion, belong in that size of tank. the clown trigger is just scary.
so, if the lion you has is a dwarf lion of some sort you will be off to a good start. you could still do the two clowns, replace the tang with a dwarf angel, and replace the trigger with a smaller wrasse. that would be a similar, but much better, stock list for a 46 gallon tank.

i like triggers alot..............and tangs............u dont think i can put maybe some other types of those fish??????????????

 

[tanks alot]

no the triggers get to big and the tangs need lots of swimming room like atleast 72in of lenght to swim

 

[fedukeford]

no triggers or tangs in a 46

Also that's way too much punctuation for such a tiny mesage box.

If you really like those kinds of fish then I suggest you get a bigger tank. You have to make the fish happy first. You don't want total kaos in your tank. I have a 180 and only 7 fish, yellow tank, two triggers (pinapple and niger) a lunar wrasp, coral beauty and a yellow tail damsel. I HAD eight fish. Someone took a chunck out of my lions tail and before I noticed it, it was too late. He lost his tail stopped eating and died.

So you really have to be carefule

[fedukeford]

if you want lions, triggers and tangs your going to want to look in the 125+ gallon range, more if you want a few kinds of tangs and triggers, also dont most triggers nip at lions fins?

 

[aboutmine]

yea in most cases....but i heard of some of them not bothering the lions but that rare i wont even take the chance.........!

 

[tanks alot]

i agree that sometimes they nip the lions fins i had a niger trigger never bother my lion but my Huma Huma never left him alone so i to him back to the fish store

dual45s is doing you a favor. i have a 17" monitor and still can't fit all of those question marks on my screen. it makes your posts tough to read. this could cause people not to read your posts. i skip threads sometimes because they are so hard to read with all the grammar mistakes and overused symbols.

Avoid the clown trigger, it will kill the lion and than it may kill the others... As everyone else already stated a much larger tank is needed.
