time for a new fish!

well ya its time again...here is my current setup
55 gallon tank with 75 ibs of live rock, 60ibs of live sand, wet/dry, Insump skimmer, 2 power heads 250gph a piece

Fishstock
2 (3)spot damsel 2 Blue devils, 2 (3) Stripe and a 2-3 inch VT lionfish, 1 Maroon Clown (on its way to heaven)
4 mexican turbos, 3 hermits.

Me and my wife really like the huma huma trigger, and we are getting a sweet deal on one...at my LFS...looks healthy and shows me that it eats frozen food (Mistake i didnt do when i bought my clown). Iam not really worried about the damsels as i know they will be dinner for the lion once he grows a tade....they were my cycle fish which did a great job. So how is the compatabilty between my lion and the huma, i know they get big and in time will be upgradeing to a 90 gal. So please advice would be good, and if u know any other nice looking fish that make a nice setup with my lion please let me know iam all up for ideas and what not.

thanx

You can go with a puffer, a rabbitfish, or a Niger trigger. I love the Huma triggers but dont know that much about keeping them in a tank. JMO

 

I'm not sure about compatibility with the lion but moving to a 90 gallon isn't all that much more swimming room for a fish that can get to 10"+, it's still a 4' tank like a standard 55, it will make turning around easier with an extra 6" of width though I guess. Any plans after the 90?

 

Your Huma trigger will do fine with the lion fish... Only thing is Huma triggers tend to like inverts of various types and may end up on its dinner Menu. Along with that may or will nip or eat types of corals..
My best addvise for you is that when you get ur Trigger or fish in general that needs lots of room to swim is to get them as small as you can.. So that way you have a few years if lucky enuff to upgrade to bigger tank later in life... Keep in mind Just my $.02 here..


Good Luck...!!

P.S if i remember rite Huma triggers and Picasso tiggers all fall under the same family tree...

 

Ya thats right huma/picasso are the same, thanx for the info ya well i do tend on upgradeing 2 a 125g, But this is my first saltwater tank want to take it slow so i can gain Experience before i get really crazy. So far so good i love this hubby ya its expensive but its well worth it. not planning on getting inverts or coral ATM, Thats what i wanted to start off with but its gonna be tough takeing care of more readings then i have to.
