polarfish Enthusiast Posts: 228 Kudos: 132 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Aug-2003 | These combinations of your fish are the most likely to succeed. An aggressive fowlr tank. panther grouper emperor angel porcupine puffer snowflake moray eel foxface niger trigger tangs A peaceful fowlr tangs flounder tassled filefish butterflyfish blue girdeled angelfish kauderns cardinalfish clarki clownfish/maroon clownfish black clownfish percula clown fish foxface A reef tangs manadrine dragonet kauderns cardinalfish clarki clownfish/maroon clownfish black clownfish percula clown fish foxface kauderns cardinalfish clarki clownfish/maroon clownfish black clownfish percula clown fish All the clowns will fight in a small tank so make sure you choose something over 150 gallons, in fact all of these combinations require really large tanks especially the Aggressive fowlr due to the niger trigger and panther growing 18 inches plus so for that 250 gallons it still too small they would fare much better in a tank over 350 gallons. I you really want a lion you cant keep it with trigger or angels, however you could keep it with corals and other fish too large to fit in its mouth |
