I am just knew to saltwater, and will be setting up my first tank this spring. (150gal...very excited)
I would like to have alot of colour, and I think a Huma Huma (picasso) would add alot. I'm not worried what he will do with a Powder Blue and an Annularis Angel, but my concern is with the smaller fish I want. I would like to have a royal gramma and maybe a flame angel? Will they be an expensive meal? I understand a huma huma will only get between 8-10 inches...is this right?
Thanks for any advice.
If only a Clown didn't get so big...I love that Trigger, but I'm sure the flame angel would survive :>)

Flame Angel will get away from the trigger, but its the other angel. Theres a "none of the same type fish" rule I like to apply. It keeps your species diverse and colorful. The royal grama will get fried right off, not a good idea.

The picasso is a great fish not quite as notorious as some other triggers but don't put in anything smaller than he is. Flame angel is a beautiful fish,, even if she did mangage to find a way to survive it would only be by hiding and subsequently starving then you'd never see her anyway so what's the point.

Could someone suggest a vibrant pink or red fish that would not become a snack? How about an anthia? The one I'm referring to gets to about 5". square(??male) BTW (not for this tank, but...)does anyone have a Maniatus Grouper? How does this fish do with tangs and large angels?
Thanks again. ANY comment appreciated.

id be careful adding a wrasse, my picasso killed my lunare wrasse. i have the meanest picasso, he thinks hes an undulate. i have a 75 and all thats in there now is a big (24") snowflake. i wouldnt do any of the angels/non agressives. they need superior water conditions that can easily e upset by messy eaters. miniatus' are great fish. awesome color, good personality, and dont hide as much as other groupers imo. they can be super mellow, or real agressive (just like a picasso). it just depends on the fish. bo
