what kind of lion

[tjake68]

i have 2 triggers and a snowflake in a 90 gallon bursa and what i was told is a titan i dont think it is,i saw it advertised as a spotted or pinapple trigger.The titan is agrresive about 4 inches i want to get a lion im leaning tworads a dwarf because of my tank size.What kind of dwarf is recomended i was thinking foo man chu i think it will have to be kind of aggresive because of my trigger my lfs says no problem (what else Would they say) but any advise on dwarf lions cant wait to get one

lions and triggers are not good fish to mix.... more than liekly, your tirggers will kill your lion

You certainly dont want to put a lion with a titan or pineapple trigger. Nigers and Bursa and the like are usually ok though.

Triggers and lions don't mix. But if you must have them both a niger would be the best bet with the lion as they are very peacefull (for a trigger)

I would not recommend putting a lion into your tank, especially not a fu man chu. More than likely, they will be torn up by the trigger and you will have easily wasted $40. Fu Man Chu lionfish are one of the least aggressive lionfish and one of the hardest to get to eat.

Most books may not recommend that you mix the two. I have and haven't had any trouble mixing the two. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

You have a titan trigger with a fu man chu lion?

I've got a humu and a blue throat trigger in with a Volitans. Never once saw the triggers going after the lion.

Yes, blue throats are one of the most peaceful triggers and humu's are toss-ups, usually not very aggressive. Titans and pineapples are some of the most aggressive triggers. Also, you have the most aggressive type of lion, the volitan. The original poster is looking into getting a dwarf, specifically a fu man chu, one of the least aggressive lions and one of the hardest to try and accept food. There is no way a fu man chu would be aggressive enough to last with those triggers, let alone try to learn to eat frozen foods.

Oops! Just re-read his post and missed that!

in a 90 gallon you could keep a volitan lionfish easily, whether you want to try and keep it with that trigger is up to you.

put in a volitan hes about 6 inches and is bigger than my triggers so they wont even go near him.Lions eating and everything is going great hope it stays this way .

I hope it works out for you. At least you did not go with a dwarf and you went with the more aggressive volitan..
