On your last post, you said you wanted a lion and a trigger, if this is still the case, the cleaner crew would make a great lunch. <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />

A cleaner shrimp is a great addition!! They will learn to eat from your hands and even clean your hands when you want them to.
Just don't make them someone else's lunch.

SWnewbie, you may be able to add a wrasse (not a cleaner wrasse). I have one in with my lion, and trigger, and I see him searching the bottom for leftovers. As far as the algae growing on your tank, I think you'll have to do that the old fashioned way and scrub. This is also on the idea, that at some point you would still have to get a bigger tank, these fish get big (except for the dwarf lion), and require a lot of swimming room. Also I recommend you add the trigger very last. Keep in mind the sizes too, the trigger should be small, but big enough that the lion won't decide to make him lunch. The wrasse should be bigger than the trigger. Good Luck and Have Fun!

with a lion, you are'nt gonna want a lot of big fish, but maybe a koles tang, they are only @6 or 7 inch, and do eat algae, or else a lawnmower or algae blenny, they wiil also help with the algae, other than that, thereis not alot that youcan put in with him, that won't be lunch, being as you have a 75 gallon, maybe an emerald crab, if you can find a big one for sele, because the ony problem with a lion is that they will eat LETERALLY everything they can fit in their mouth
