Thanks

The peppermint hog is a deeper water fish, it took a little while for it to adjust to the lighting but seems to be more comfortable now. Seem very timid to me, doesn't pick on any other fish and keeps to itself. I believe other hog fish may be aggressive but not the peppermint.

The tank size is 3' x 3' x 2' about 130 gallons. Tank mates include; clown goby, flame hawkfish, 2 firefish, regal and yellow tang, spotted mandarin, scooter blenny, geometric hawkfish, lemonpeel angel, potters angel, bluestreak pipefish, a mated pair of false percs, chalk bass, banggai cardinalfish. May be one or two more I've forgotten about.
