I would never mix these fish. I know, it is often done. But, sooner or later the triggers will become triggers and your lions fins will just be the start of his demise. The triggers not will not just nip fins, they will stress the fish,weaken it, then attack and kill it.

Just curious: how long did they stay together and how big was the trigger?

I agree with the above, however I have had good long term results with lions and a bluejaw trigger, but clowns and adult nigers are a whole different ball game.
