What fish to get...

[ecreef]

So I have a 75 Gallon setup now. up and running, live rock, no fish as I gave them to a friend, picking up a 30 gallon fuge and pc lights. Don't want to mess with corals just yet. Treid, but they got the better of me so I want to stick with fish. I think I want to get a cowfish or boxfish again, but looking for what others might put together. I do like angels and what not and will upgrade my tank when the fish get bigger, so keep that in mind.

Lions. They are fun to feed...for a while.

 

[fishykeeper]

a trigger, either clown, picasso (may get pretty aggressive), or niger or blue jaw, all have tons of personality and very active.

How about a puffer or an eel? Triggers are defintely cool too!

just wait till you get stung by a lion. then they will really fun to feed..... to a trash can... just kidding, i heard a story though it could be all b.s. but i dont really know...

supposedly this guy i know had one die in one of his maintenance tanks and then he just put the dead lion fish outside in evergreen and a coyote ate it...

apparently the coyote died in his front yard....

i would get a trigger they are more mobile and interesting... lions are boring, just be careful if you have an acrylic tank i have seen triggers scratch acrylic tanks with thier beaks, and i have also seen one eat a much larger lion excluding the poisonous spines.

you should put a marine beta also known as a comet grouper they are really cool to watch eat and they are one of the hardiest fish you can get.
