Picasso trigger company and future tank size

[Samanthabea]

In another thread touched on that I'm eventually upgrading my tank but will a dwarf lionfish and couple yellow tangs (when I add any more fish) withstand the picasso's temper tantrums second question is would you do the 125 gallon 4ft or 6ft (if a contractor says my floor can handle it I want larger but still same question on length) I also have a snowflake eel with him right now

Another thing is would the picasso be more likely to have his fits in a larger tank or would it be the same no matter what

What brands would you suggest I've heard aquaeon has a lot of bad seals if fluval sells tanks and seacheam I know those to are good

Years ago, I had a HumuHumu (picasso) with a lion in my 55g... They got along fine as long as they were well fed... when hungry, the trigger would nip at the fins of the lion.

This was my experience and does not mean it is safe to keep these 2 predators safely in the same tank.

Glass is a little green imo but good tanks.
Acrylic the seams are bonded and no silicon.

A 6 ft tank is a must for a picasso, the 125g is on the small side, and will only work if you keep it lightly stocked. I suggest starting out with one under 2", they do grow slowly, but when they reach about 5" they will cop an attitude. They normally wouldn't put their angst toward the yellow tangs or the lion, but they are aggressive eaters and feeding the lion will likely be a challenge. Feeding dwarf lions can be a challenge on it's own, so do your research on that. The eel will be fine.

I did get a small one maybe 2-3 inches to go with my eel so I would have time to upgrade the end stock would just be the 2 yellow tangs and the lionfish and eel because of everything I've read said the picasso's in particular are very agressive how big would you suggest or should I just leave it at the trigger the eel and 1 other I want to go larger (going to get a contractor out sometime to see if I even can) but kept reading everything over 125 gallons can be iffy except on the ground floor and I don't want to put them in the basement

After a lot of looking it looks like I won't be able to have a lionfish even if I wanted to due to lack of live food available to me (aka none unless I start a feeder breeding tank)
