    I'd go Huma Huma if I was set on a sub $100 triggerfish but they get big, probably to big for a 55g, a niger would likely be fine as long as there isn't to much of a bio-load on the tank

    the bursa gets 9 inchs.
    huma huma gets 10 inchs

    idk which ill get. is the huma huma more personable? this is a tough decision.

    im gonna go out on a limb and say both arent possible together. i dont think they would be but hey, its worth a shot. watcha think?

    my Bursa and Humu Humu live fine together, just add them at or make sure one is a little bigger if added seperate (bigger coming last of course)..
