Redstripe Hogfish!!!

[stew07]

Anyone out there ever had a Redstripe Hogfish. Tell me about them from personal experience. Aggressive? Open water swimmer? Shy?

Thank you so much for your time

I saw these advertised on Vivid's site. Very nice looking fish. It looked like possibly a typo, but it looked like they listed maximum size as 4.5 inches. Is that right? I thought all the Hogfish got huge.

I got one yesterday and it is an amazing fish. Very beautiful and very peaceful!!!!! Expensive but worth it so far

A lot of people regret getting them as they get more aggressive as they get larger. They are beautiful fish though. I've considered one on multiple occasions.

I have a Candy Hog that I've had for 4+ years. Use to be a model citizen in the first year or so, but once it reached 3" it started to become a real bastard. Beat up wrasses, Mandarin, Blenny. Beautiful fish, but I'm going to be keeping him alone in a tank.
