Company for Lionfish

[revfred]

I finally got a new Lionfish which I've wanted since my father had one about 20 years ago. I currently have a huma-huma trigger who I'm getting rid of this weekend. I would prefer to put some less aggressive fish in the tank to complement the Lion.
I was thinking along the lines of the Hippo Tang. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What size tank do you have, and what type of lion?

Well, its not so much your lion your going to have to worry about when selecting your fish. It's going to be compadability with the trigger that will be tough. Lions are not overly aggressive to other fish, unless they can fit them in their mouth. Assuming that your tank is over 90 gallons, a tang would most likely be a nice addition to that tank.

I had a foxface and a sailfin tang in with my lion. They all got along fine and never bothered anyone. Hippo IMO should be fine with him.
