Well, I lost a maroon clown today. My darn Fu Man Chu FDL ate him today. If I get fish as large as my FDL, if not bigger, will my FDL leave them alone? I have a 180 gal tank. I'd like to get another clown that is about 2 1/2 inches long. Will they leave it alone? They get ample amout of food to eat. Thanks for the help.

Well, I took back all my small fish to the LFS. Anything under 2" if going to be fish food for them. I now have a a regal tang 7", leutenant tang 5", chevron tang 5", and a maroon clown about 2 1/2 ". They all seem to get along well. My fu man chu is now eating ghost shrimp and frozen off the end of a pair of long tweezers.

I can but I just got two of the tangs today. I'm going to do some more research on them. I won't get any more fish for about 2 weeks though. We feed the FDL frozen lance fish. That is what the LFS recommended because that is what they fed him.

Sure. We had both in a 55 gal tank about a year ago. They both got along very well and ate pretty much the same thing. I didn't have any problems with them at all.

A trigger will likely pick on your lion fish.

A fish thats larger than the lion is required unless you're looking to get him a nice snack.
A larger puffer should be fine. I'm partial to porcupine puffers cuz they're so darned cute!
A large angel fish would be good. Anything thats recomended for a community tank.
