is it okay to have a dwarf lionfish,a niger trigger,a panther grouper, 4 damsels and a hawkfish inn the same tank? and i want to add a small flounder will this be okay???????
In a 40 gallon tank not at all. The niger trigger and grouper will get huge,the grouper will get to like 3 ft. before you know it. Also flounders eat small fish and biggish fish.
There are certainly some potential problems. Let's clear up what size tank your thinking of and what species of damsels you want before we get into the logistics of keeping that group of fish.
will all my fish are like nano size so i have plenty of time , i am not worried about that issue i just wanted to know if they would be able to be in the same tank. i hate when ppl tell me that i need a bigger tank .when in reality i dont but thats another story! and another question!

So, you already have a dwarf lionfish, panther grouper, niger trigger, pixy hawkfish, and 4 damsels in a 40 gallon?
How big are each of the fish and what type of damsels are we talking about?

No.
If you post more details about your tank we can help you further. Until then, the answer "No" is the best I can give you.
Panther Grouper and Niger Trigger both get close to 2 feet long in the wild, should both get to around 12 inch long in captivity, your profile says you have a 40 gallon tank, these 2 fish will eat everything in your tank, but the bigger issue would be the bioload created by these fish in a tank that small.
yeah i know i have a 55 gal tank but i am waiting for the fish too get bigger! than i will transfer them. the fish are really small , i said on my profile that my lionfish eates goldfish will it doesnt cause he is that small!!! like all my fish are under 2 " and in the 40 gal they look even smaller and i have had all my fish for 2 months.when i got them for the first time they were like micro cause thats how i orderd them. so i have never had ich on them and they all have plenty of space to hide and move around and they never fight!!

You asked if the fish you have are ok together!!! We told you long term they are not!!! Fish are not full grown at 2 months!! Niger Triggers and Panther Groupers grow a lot!! You shouldn't come here looking for advice then get defensive when you get it.
Your fish selection would be fine if you had a 300+g tank. IME the Panther grouper is awesome as a juvi and as it gets bigger and more mature the color darkens and it is truly ugly. The niger will be 22".
When your grouper gets big enough, it will have your hawkfish and your damsels for lunch.
I agree with KJR that you should do your research before putting a bunch of fish together.
Regardless, your stock would work if you had a large tank, but your 55 is no where near big.

thank god someone finally, understands that you dont exactly need a bigger tank now, just cause they will get big in a year, that means in a year i will get a bigger tank! and even if i keep what i have for more than a year i know my fish will thrive and when they do i will prove all you tank know it all's!!
I doubt anyone will want to help you in the future with that kind of language and that kind of response. You will be lucky if they don't band you from the boards.

I'm surprised the mods haven't found it yet. Totally unacceptable.
To cruise arguill: I'd suggest you clean up your act or find a new place to express yourself. Trying to help someone with this type of attitude is impossible, in fact, I really don't know why I'm bothering to post this. Maybe because you're new to this forum and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Guys don't feed the trolls anymore . I am sure by now the mods are aware of this thread . I sugest you just add another to your ignore list and move on and let the mods clean this up .
