1- its a personal preferance, I wouldnt
2- lions and triggers are usually a no no together
3- depends on tank size and what you like

I know Humus are nice as far as triggers go but I was able to keep a Volitan Lion and a Humu Trigger together with no problems.

johno4 is right, it really depends on the tank size. But i think just having a trigger is worth it. Them and puffers have very unique personalitys and really get to know who feeds them Probaly the clown, humu, and queen heart have the coolest personalitys as far as triggers go, but the clown can be a little mean, all depends on the specimen really, lol.

If you are going to get just one trigger, get a mean one, like an undulated! I've always wanted one, may setup a species tank just to get one. I'd also say it depends on the tank if it's worth it. If you have a nice huge tank, then one trigger isn't worth it. Just get multiple tanks, that way you can have the best of all the worlds, haha.
