I went to get some food today for my humu humu, and there was a lion fish for a price i couldnt pass up. Ive read that while sometimes there may be problems with the trigger picking, i made sure i had a back up to give the trigger or the lionfish to a friend if they become a problem.
Here is a picture, taken on my 3 year old 2megapix sony

Its already eating frozen mysis shrimp, and even munched on a krill that i was feeding to the trigger

Yeah, They havent paid any attention to each other that ive seen, But then again, its only those 2 fish in a 150 gallon tank with a good bit of rockwork, but i would just rather be prepaired incase

Very nice photos...

keep us posted on how they get along...I've always heard that triggers will pick on lionfish....hopefully yours will peacefully co-exist.

I also had a trigger and lion together and like wanabebell said I would feed every day and didn't have a problem.
