I think you should get a new LFS as soon as possible...depending on what kind of trigger, puffer, and lion. First though...triggers and lions are not compatible. Trigger will most likely kill that lion given time. Triggers and puffers are ok, but definitely not in a 55. 55 is too small for pretty much any trigger..you might be able to do an undulate, but they need to be by themselves. If you are thinking of a puffer in a 55 make sure it is one of the small toby puffers. I am guessing given the combo they are suggesting that they are talking one of the puffers that would be way too BIG for that tank. A lion and puffer is questionable depending on the puffer...too small and the puffer will likely be eaten...too big and the puffer may hurt the lion. In any case...none of these fish (except a toby puffer) should be in a 55, and definitely not together.
Other poster is right...some kind of dwarf lion and toby puffer could be compatible...forgot to add that.

Get a new LFS... Most puffers and definitly triggers would really hurt a lion. Not to mention a trigger would never be happy in a 55... Best to go back to the drawing board.

Lion and fished that are shaped too big for him to swallow. Like a Blue, Yellow Tang, kole tang, powder blue would be great. Blue face angelfish, queen angel, emperor, or any of the 8" and up angels. Butterfly fish of sorts. The larger moure rounded fish. Not slender fish.

Im an idiot. I thought he was just asking a general question. a 55 hex tall allows very little. Dwarf fuzzy would do pretty good. Man they should almost ban me for that response. Ignore everything I just said In fact Im deleting that post.
