Woohoo let's see it!! Can you post s video upon letting him into the tank for first time?

Since you asked I'll try. I was gonna have the tanked blacked out when I did it. Just cuz I KNOW the grouper is gonna fight anyone that arrives.

Yeah know that I think about it I'll watch when I put them in. Grouper learned real quick (about 10 seconds) not to mess with the trigger

Do you have plans to train the lion to eat frozen food?

I've gone a ton of mono fish line. Was gonna stick shrimp and such on there to get him to eat. My last one didn't even need training, so I hope I'll get lucky again. If not i have some live shrimp in the sump for him

It can be hard to do if you have aggressive feeders in the tank that would go after the training food.

I'll do my best. Probably target feed everyone else first. Any tips you have for me in particular?

I use training QTs.

A Dwarf Zebra, a Niger Trigger and a Snowflake

A small lion fish, the most friendly of the eels, and the most friendly of the triggers.

I can see that borderline working.

trade niger for pinktail and that's how mine will be. Hopefully it works out.

Possible. Just make sure the trigger comes last, and the eel is first.

Actually I believe the Bluethroat and Crosshatch/Pink Tail, as well as the Sargassum (correct me if I'm wrong) are the most docile trigger species (among Xanichthys, Melichthys and thr Niger Trigger) as they are planktivores rather than true blue carnivores

This is the impression I was under.
