A Passel of Hogs?

[aragonite55]

Every article, book, link that I've read about Hogfish(Bodianus sp.)says the same thing, 'only one per tank'. Wondering if any brave souls on RC have gone against this advice and tried keeping two or more together. If so could you kindly let me know, which ones, what size tank, and most importantly, was blood spilt? All info gratefully received,and thanks in advance, Paul.

I kept a pair of Bodianus bimaculatus for quite a while and they were absolutely gorgeous together. Every evening they would do a breeding "dance" where they intertwined and shot towards the surface. Eggs would be released right before they hit the surface of the water.

There are some people on here who have pairs, but you might have to search to find their tank information.
