Wow! Yeah that is a stunning fish. Good thing I don't have space or I'd be buying it.

The mombasae is beautiful! Mine was really fabulous, but you have to watch this one's size. They have big ole mouths.

Thanks for the info. I really have been thinking about getting one for a 180 gallon fish only build I am finishing up. Other tank mates I have been considering is a blue throat trigger, marine Betta, large angel, maroon clown, harlequin tusk and a large angel (majestic perhaps?). Wondered if I would have a good chance to make that group work. What are your thoughts? I could always go with a fuzzy dwarf which I would certain a safe bet.

The fuzzy would have a harder time in your tank than would a mombasae. The mombasae would be a better mix. Triggers don't usually go with lions, but the better bet is the blue throat. Large angels can be a butt as well, but you have one of the better ones of those too. If triggers and angels are going in a tank with a lion, those would be two of the ones I would recommend. I think you would have a good chance with that party in your tank.

Dude..... it's gone. Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhy! I was looking forward to seeing them in your tank.

Thanks for your take. I came up with the lineup with similar thoughts. Also nice to hear your thoughts confirmed.
