ProFlatlander15 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 would they try to eat eachother? if not, itsd be a real sweet tank, just make sure it can handle a high bio-load Link to comment
drbegalke Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 would they try to eat eachother? if not, itsd be a real sweet tank, just make sure it can handle a high bio-load Ya, it'll be a FOWLR so I'm going to run a Lifegard system with fludized bed, a Remora, and a 'fuge.

Saltwater Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I would say no to the Angler, they are tough to feed and can not compete for food, but if you really want the angler than no to the lion....lol Anglers and Lions are predators of one another, the difference of who eats who is just dependant on which is bigger at the time. These are two predators that can not be mixed..... Link to comment
Cesar Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Can the trigger be in there with the other tanks mates? If so, I say go for it. I would like to see a set up like that. Link to comment
Saltwater Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 The trigger can be in there but it can only stay for 1 1/2- 2 - 2 1/2 years because of the growth rate. The Blue throat is a slower grower, it is from the Xanthichthys family & can go in with snails, Urchins & sometimes shrimp (as long as the shrimp is much larger). This species can even go in a reef tank. Link to comment

Saltwater Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 "The undulate trigger is smaller." The Undulatus is a smaller trigger as an adult but we are talking about a 55g with tank mates. The undulated kills just to kill..... it is also recommended that the Undy is kept alone with no tank mates, that is one mean trigger...... Link to comment
willlgr1 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 it's generally not a good idea to house triggers with lions because triggers like to pick at the longer fins on the lions. blue jaws are usually one of the more docile of triggers though, and dwarfs don't have the long fins like the volitan's, so i'd say go for it but keep your eyes on the trigger.

Im intrested in starting a FOWLR 55g tank so far i have 40lbs of live sand a bak pak skimmer a 900 and 1200 maxi jet power heads since its fish only light is not a concern so stock light should be sufficent right?

Im intrested in lion fish trigger or grouper angel Koran Queen or Bluefaced and a Moray Eel of some sort now mind you i want Juviniles which will eventuly grow Ohh yeah 25lbs of live rock will be added also. later after they out grow ill put them in a 125g tank anyways, since this is my 1st large tank any input would be cool thanks in advance.
