ONE MORE TIME

I got a green wolf ell friday and he's starting to scare me with my smaller triggers but mostly my 3-4" clown trigger, I talked to my LFS guy and he said not to worry about cause the trigger can bite back but if I wanted to he would give me half credit back on it.Now he has a p. antennata lion and he says it doesn't get to big but I have not had no luck with lions in the past 6 months. I wanna try another one but what are the perimeters for a lion fish and will it be ok with the triggers?

I'd be a bit reluctant to place a lion with a trigger. Not that it can't be done, but with triggers always wanting to re-do your tank, and lions just wanting to sit there, there are some built in problems. This is especially true if the trigger doesn't like the lion. They can still worry it to death.

I'd choose another fish.

Just to be sure we are talking about the same fish...Is this what you are refering to when you say wolf eel? (see link)

After seeing your picture, I think you have this fish -

That's a bit different than a true wolf eel. A true wolf eel gets extremely large, at 7 feet long and 40 lbs. It's also a cold water fish, and not something to place in a tropical reef system.

I've never owned the fish, but it seems that if the fish is too large to swallow the green wolf eel will leave it alone. Triggers are especially difficult in that department because of their dorsal spines.

A true wolf eel is really not available in this hobby. The one you have is the common name for the one that is often available.
