I'd maybe only go with one lion fish. And the others listed just cause the bio load on the tank is going to be pretty heavy and if u aren't trying to have to do weekly water changes I'd make sure u have a heavy duty filter system on the tank

I would disagree with that. Triggers are very curious fish and very active during the day. And the shark is not going to be active till night and sad to say it's just going to make him a easy target for the triggers to nip and bully him. That was my intent to put one in with mine but I then...

I'd rethink the box fish they may be to docile in that tank and may be picked on and also they are toxic and if threatened they release a toxin that will kill ur fish in the tank. And everything else looks like it would be a good match for ur tank. When it comes to the eel u have a few choices...

They will also nip at the shark

U can mix different types of triggers as long as they don't look alike and u have a large enough tank and numerous hiding places for the two of them. But again as I said in the other post I wouldn't put triggers in with I'd shark. It's up to u but all the books and people I talked to said...

I wouldn't recommend putting it in with the shark. The trigger will most likely nip the fins and even the eyes of the shark since the banded cAts aren't that active during the day it would make a good target for the trigger and also it will make feeding the shark harder since triggers are pigs...

I have had good luck with online ordering. Try liveaquria.com or saltwaterfish.com those are the 2 that I use and have had really good luck with both and they are good about using ice packs and heat packs when shipping

It's always a risk when u order online but it does have it's perks I haven't bought a fish from the lfs in almost a year cause the did the same charge out the *** and I'd get small or sick fish. What site did u use cause when I order my shipping and handling is only 24.

Have u tryed ordering online?

I'll start it tommmorw then. Should I use fresh or will the liquid garlic be fine?

Is the garlic a way to prevent it? And will it help the puffer get over it?

U mean fresh garlic? Cause I have this garlic stuff u soak food in to attract fish. Will it work with silversides? I also have the knor ich stuff but havent used it cause last time I did I lost a few fish

No I feed strait from the pack. Is that safe for the other fish in the tank since I can't move him out into the qt?

I have a porcupine puffer and some triggers in a 90 gallon tAnk and the puffer and one trigger have ick bad. Anytime I use chems on the 90 the puffer starts breathing funny and acting funny any ideas? And in my qt tank the trigger has ick really bad also I can't put the fish to gether cause the...

If ur gonna go with a fowlr I would double check on the sizes of some of the fish on ur list. The 1-2 lions most likely won't work cause they will get to almost a foot in size and the triggers most likely will average about 10-12+ and they may also nip at the fins of ur lionfish also. There are...
