Eric,

You can try this combo:

with:

or
http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...cfm?pCatId=225

Any one of the above should work with an eel as well.

Thanks Steve,

That is what I was hoping for a Toby puffer and a dwarf lion. Do you think a Linckia Sea Star would do ok with those fish? Could I get one more fish in my 50G or is that too much?

Thanks,

Eric

I would be worried about the puffer with any cleaning crew. I dont think i would recommend it.

If i were you i would add both at the same time, then give it a couple of weeks and see how your parameters are. You will have to keep up with regular water changes and keeping detrius at a minimum.

I had one before he did not seem to bug my sea star but he ate a few hermits, snails and a shrimp. I had to get rid of him becuase he was picking on my clown. I don't have a clown any more and will not have any inverts.

I was thinking of a Linckia Sea Star becuse they are toxic and most fish will not eat them.

One other question how do you move a puffer and a loin ( I think a net would not be the best idea)?

Assume the Undulated Trigger will slaughter them all! This is a "Bad Boy" among triggers.
Don't totally rule out a clean-up crew, I have very large hermits, serpent stars & knobby sea cucumbers holding their own against a Lunare Wrasse, Clown Trigger, Panther Grouper, Zebra Moray & Snowflake Moray.
I have made sure that there are plenty of shells of appropriate size too.
Just think mean!

i had a saddled toby a snowflake and a lion together with no problems but the loin was a lot larger than the toby,the toby lives with a couple cardinals and has never picked at any fins,while a had a fingerprint toby that picked at everyones fins so it might just depend on the fishs personality wether you would have any issues or not.

I picked up the Toby tonight and a Linckia Sea Star. I am going to look for a Lion this weekend.

A few Lion questions;

How do you move them? I hear they only eat live food is that true? What type of live should I buy for them?

If I don't get a Loin what other fish would go good with my Puffer and my star?

Thanks for you help.

Eric.
