You will need a larger tank then that and I wouldn`t mix triggers with lionfish much they nip a lot

I wouldnt keep a lion and a trigger together. From what i have heard the trigger will shred the fins on ur lion. And clown triggers are extremely agressive. One of the top 3 agressive imo. If you want a trigger there are plenty of good ones that arnt as agressive. The emperor angle and the dogface should be fine in a 100 but im sure some one will tell you the dogface needs bigger or something. For the eel i have never had a dragan eel and my possy doesnt. I will look into it.

here is what another site says about dragons "The Dragon Eel is a very aggressive species with a mouth full of large sharp teeth, and a bottom jaw that cannot close because it is curved. Due to this eel's aggressive and predatory nature it is often difficult to keep it with other marine life, included other eels. It is best kept singly, and in an aggressive species tank community with other larger predatory fish, such as Triggers, Groupers, Puffers, Snappers, Hawks, and Lionfishes"

Most of it is a bunch of bull, can you post the link that has that info?

make it a reef instead. cause the trigger will kill the lion and all those fish might/will outgrow the tank

How is making it a reef even an option? :notsure: If he wanted a reef I'm sure he would have said, "Or should I just make it a reef?"
I agree with everyone on triggers and puffers not being so great with lions. My porc puffer would never leave my lion alone so I had to get rid of the lion. Puffers, triggers, and large angels work well together but would be stressful in a 100. Either way, put the trigger in last. What kind of dragon did you have in mind?

agressive fish are better than a reef i dont know why but agressive is better cause fish are usually swimming oh yeah and when something like a trigger fish eats it thrashes its food around but reefs are breath taking to very relaxing to watch fish swimmin around and comin in and out of corals but corals that glow are awesome ecspecially when the lights go out thats when those corals glow but i never saw a coral like that until the day i went to the lfs at night and they were closing and they turned out the lights on there reef but we got there just in time to get a new fish

surfinusa, No two dragon morays have the same markings and you either get more bright or less, it all depends and the Japanese dragon moray have much more bright colors, normally they do.
