    Looking to add a Picasso Trigger to my 96gal FOWLR, which also includes a Voiltains Lionfish, Fu Manchu Lionfish, and a Luna Wrasse.
    I will be moving the fish to a larger tank when they out grow the 96.

    My question is, will the Picasso nip at the Volitains fins? I had a Niger in with these fish, and it was fine, although i know the Picasso is more aggressive. I prefer the Picasso, but will go with either the Bluethroat, or the Crosshatch, as other options.

    I wouldn't think so due to the lionfish being venomous.

    I never had a problem keeping triggers with a lion, I had a Picasso and clown in with one.

    Should'nt offer you any problems as they are both durable fish.
