, Im having problems getting fish from my petstore cause he orders mostly small fish

Right now I have a 240 gallon fowlr, well i have an alevopora coral, and star polyps , but thats all

and , the current tank mates are

1. 3.5 inch volitan lionfish
2. 5 inch Dwarf Lionfish
3. 2 yellow tail damsels
4. 2 3 strip damsels
5. 2 fiji blue damels
6. 14 inch long Snowflake eel

now why in the world the bigger lionfish or the eel doesnt eate the damsels , I dont know ,

however,

how many more fish can I have

I want some more fihs , but I definatly want them to be big enough to not be in harms way of getting eating , because I am keeping both lionfish

I woul dlike to purchase 2 trigger fish in the 4-6 inch range

is this too big for a 240 gallon tank

and I wouldnt mind having a Larger clownfish of some kind to , in that same range

do fish this large ship that well ? ? ?

i want to do an online order, but I dont want to pay for a medium- to a large size fish and get a small and have no where to put it

How long has the tank been set up? What kind of equipment do you have? Come on man, I see that you have 3 tanks running right now. I know you're a young dude also, and I know how money goes for young reefers (I had a tank in high school).

It must be a "rumpus room" in there right now, with 6 damsels, two lions, and an eel. That volitans lionfish will get pretty big, possibly 18"...not a small load even on a 240.

You need to work on your grammar too.

I have placed many orders with Liveaquaria, Items have always been on the high end of their measurements and sometimes larger.

Your sig indicates that the 240g will soon be an Octupus tank?
Is that still in the plans?
Lionfish are a heavy bioload, & they will eventually eat anything that fits in their mouth
Since you plan on keeping them, I would say you are at the max number of fish judging by their mature size
