small damsels in large aggressive tank?

[fixed]

So, what will likely happen if there are 4 or 5 small damsels in a 150 g tank with a large clown trigger, lion, and eel? Food, or manage to coexist? thanks.

i has 3 damsles, one last about 2 hours the other one lasted one day and the last one is bieng stalked right now ...
and i only have a lion so far!
my conclusion....THERE DONE!

 

[fixed]

Is this a bad thing, or somewhat ok?

Go for a decent sized domino, he is the least detered. There is a aquarium here on Long Island and they have a really large one by our standards in there shark tank and they don't bother it.

its not a bad thing, i mean my lionfish enjoyed them as snacks! as will your lion and eel

some people might say if you keep your fish fed well and there always full your damsels will be o.k, but when the lights go off at night they will be lurking and sooner or later the damsels will get it

Well I have a couple of damsels, with a dog faced puffer, a huma huma and niger trigger, and the damsels are doing just fine, they just stay out of their way

let's just say that the fish are gonna be smiling next morning and no sign of a damsel

I keep a 7 inch lion in my reef tank it is housed with chromis ,,,clowns cardenals dotty backs ,damsels.if you want to house smaller fish with more aggressive eaters keep them well fed ,smaller fish will be less tempting to a well fed fish.I wont say they will not get eaten eventually but they wont be eaten as soon as they enter the tank.I feed my fish every day 2 times

you might be able to do a dwarf lion, snowflake eel, and humu humu trigger more successfully if you really like your damsels

naw, not that much... If putting him will restrict what other fish i can add to the 150g, I will keep him in the tank hes in now. I would like to put him in the 150g, but I dont want to risk him turning into a meal :-(

my lion made quick work of my three damsels, they were cute little buggers too

Not to change the question at hand... but the clown trigger and the lion isnt a good match. One of them will end up dead

My SMALL 2.5 inch Huma Huma Trigger ate 2 damsels on me.....One that I witnessed whilee doing a water change and just couldn't do anything in time. My LFS has a rather large Domino I've been contemplating........
On another note:
the clown trigger and the lion isnt a good match. One of them will end up dead
Could you explain a little more on this? Once I get my 75 to where I want it I had planned on putting my trigger in it and perhaps a lion.
