I'd have to agree with jw, within 2 months of getting my clown trigger I had to upgrade a bit giving him his own tank. Unless you can afford to and plan on getting a larger tank, I wouldn't think about too many more fish. Even if he is small right now they will grow up one day, you need to plan for the future not only before you buy, but as you go. It is fun, but very expencive and time consuming.

if the huma is small feed him three times a week. that should slow his growth a bit. you can keep him for a while. no more fishys for that 46. the trigger and wrasse is enough for now.

Just something to add, I have a huma huma trigger; and maybe he's just some freak of nature, but I have had him for three years, he was my very first fish, he is in a 100G, and in the three years I have had him, he has grown, maybe a 1/2". So I would have to say the huma would be fine in there for quite some time. My huma also swims along the top back and forth really fast, but I really don't think it is because he is cramped! I think he enjoys it.

as far as aggression goes i do have some experience. i have a 150gal with a huma huma trigger, bursar trigger, clown trigger, small lion, all of which are 4-6inches, 19inch snowflake, puffer, yellow eye tang, coral beauty, and three of the most aggressive yellow tail damsels. i have no problems, but one suggestion is have lots of rock and caves for the fish to get into. i did have a niger trigger, but he was beaten up by the huma and the snowflake eel ate him. a 150gal tank is not that much more expensive, and it will pay off in the long run when it comes to your lives stock. just like anything else, bigger is often better. good luck!
