Yes or NO: would you put a peppermint hogfish in a 50 gallon tank?

Considering the tank is established, no inter-specie aggression and husbandry skills are intermediate?

I've considered a peppermint and candy hogfish before but always hear everyone regrets them. They usually turn into bullies as they get larger.

How big do they get? One book I have says 7" and LA says 5" I think.
