Humu trigger

[Charlie_11278]

I found someone selling a humu trigger and what caught my attention was that its housed with an angel, tangs clownfishes and owner said that it's very docile. So long story short I'm interested in buying it but plan on adding some tangs in the future but will hate for it to pick on them

How big is the trigger? How big is your tank?
My humu humu in my reef did not attack my existing fish. I added a butterfly fish later (looks similar to a tang) but my trigger didn't act aggressively at all. Tangs and triggers don't compete for food so I believe they will get along ok as long as there is enough space.

Sadly 80 gallons isn't big enough for a trigger and most tangs.

If you are interested in tangs. Small ctenochaetus can work. You can also try drawf angels.

My LFS had a humu humu trigger for months. I would have loved to get him but my tank isn't big enough.. they get big and need a lot of space
