Stocking List

My Tank 55g FOWLR
So far I have for my list:
Xmas Blennie
2 Percula Clowns
Royal Gramma
What else would be good in my tank?
By the way what is the minumum size for a trigger because I really want a Huma Huma but I figure either it will not get along with these fish or it will need a bigger tank. I will be upgrading to a bigger tank but not for a long time the Huma Huma i would get would be like 1-2in so What do you guys think?

min tank size 55gl "A species for modern art lovers or anyone who desires a fish that thinks it's a dog."

That's what the book says. Will eat all inverts expect those that sting.
How about a wrasse? or a goby?

I wouldn't trust a Humu Humu Trigger with any small fish. I own one myself. He is with a Yellow Tang, Silver Tip Shark, and a large Hermit Crab that he is afraid of. Not sure why he's afraid of the hermit though. I sometimes feed him feeder fish as a treat (Some would tell you not to, but I do.) He would attack it like a pirahna. Try to think of what would happen by putting him with your Blenny, Royal Gramma, and your Clowns. IF you really wanted one, don't get those small fish, needs a fish same or larger in size. Your 55 would do with a trigger that size (1-2in.). I LOVE mine though, he's a wonderful fish that's always happy to see me when I come to his tank. My previous one didn't survive though, I think he was a bad batch, died within 2 days. He wouldn't eat anything I give him and hides a lot. The Yellow tang is his best friend, they eat, sleeps, and swims together. They tend to get along with tangs. I know some people would flame me for this especially tang police, but I say get a small tang with a trigger if you plan on getting one. BUT do realize that you WILL have to upgrade down the road since the tangs grow pretty fast and they need more room to swim. Good Luck! :happyfish

I'll defend myself with any tang police!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of others would agree with me!!! Not trying to flame you or anything....It's a nice fish to start with, but I did put in there that he will need to upgrade down the road if he was to get one. Our Yellow tang is living in a 46 bow front and she is doing quite well. However we are upgrading to a larger tank by spring and that's where she'll be living. :happyfish
