    im really having trouble finding what i want in my 55 gallon. i have:

    55lbs rock
    70lbs sand
    two hermits (for kicks and giggles mainly)
    15 mangroves
    chaeto
    red gracilaria

    so far. i want either

    huma huma triggerfish
    or
    a dwarf lionfish
    OR
    both :D (again wishfull thinking)

    so what do you all think. i want one or two show fish, not a whole bunch of them. i would add the dwarf lionfish first so it could hopefully get on frozen, then add the hum huma at a small size. what do you all think?

    If they are it, I think you should be good, I don't see a problem, IMO, you could probably add a smaller fish too, maybe a hawkfish or something like that.

    yea i agree with guitar man just not to small cause if the loin is big enough could be a snack. But yea i could say a nice flame hawk in the tank.
