yes, they can be expensive, but the fish are cooler. i'd say *mostly* the fish are the expensive part. i want to start a tank with 2 trigger fishes (a niger and a picasso), a sailfin zebra tang, and a lionfish. kinda hostile

I like the triggers too. I've had a picasso, a couple of different nigers (they end up redecorating the tank and scratching the sides cause their teeth tend to grow outward), a clown that grew huge, yaddah yaddah.. Got a new trigger a few weeks ago. It's a sailfin look like the nigers but it's a blue front (belly is blue, body light grey and tail is yellowish). Pink tail triggers are kewl too. They have the sailfin look and they tend to grow rather large.
I had a voltan lionfish for a while. As long as you it when it's smallish and the other fish in the tank are larger than his mouth, he'll do okay. Mine never bothered any of the others, although my stars and stripes puffer just had to learn his lesson with those spiny needles. The lions learn to eat non-live food very easily (krill and the like).
