Huma Huma

[jedimaster]

I would like to get either a Huma Huma or a regal tang but I am stil waivering, I have a Yellow tang, Naso Tang, Maroon clown, and two green chromis. I no longer have any corals so I am not worried about that, I am actually trying to decide about starting corals again or just staying fowlr P.S. I have a 4 foot 90 gallon with 20 gallon sump.
P.S. a local lfs has a bamboo cat that is pretty neat, I don't know much about them but apparently they stay small eough to stay in a 90-120, I'll be upping to a 6-7 foot tank in a few years also.

Well...let me give you my point of view. I love our Huma, but I wish we didn't have him! We have 4 tanks, and I can't do exactly what I want in them because of the huma. In our reef tank, forget it, he'd eat everything and everyone. In our aggressive tank, I would LOVE to add some cleaner shrimp and some mushrooms, but, alas, the huma.
In our tall show, we have several small shrimp, so he's out there too.
Its a great fish, but think carefully about how he limits your choices before you take the plunge.

I wouldn't add a humu to that tank. He might raise hell in there. Bamboo sharks need a minimum of 240g, IMO. I'm not sure If I'd do a regal tang in there either. Not sure how those three tangs would do in there. Look into some smaller fish like flame hawks, psuedochromis, grammas, wrasses, etc. Bo

i had a huma huma and he was a world of trouble. great lookin fish but he will pick on your nice fish, hes a very messy eater and he will probably eat any smaller fish or inverts

With the fish you have the trigger would be nothing but problems. Soon then later he would rule the tank and all your other fish could be his play toys, very messy eater and with the fish you have listed they need good water quality. You don't have enough room for a shark. Regal tangs are great fish I would go with it. Good Luck
