Ive seen my hogfish act aggressive towards other fish but this takes the cake it ripped a mollies head off. Anyone whos looking to buy one heed this warning, its not just cuc at risk. Guess I'll have no mollies soon enough lol.

I’ve kept Cuban Hogs in at least 1 of my tanks, for almost 50 years… don’t recall ever having a problem with one!

Only other fish that could possibly do that in my tank is my parrotfish but it doesn't chase the mollies around the tank like my hogfish does, its much more interested in algae on the rocks. I may just have a problem child fish its always been aggressive. I feed it alot of live periwinkles so perhaps feeding live all the time makes them more aggressive. Honestly I have developed a distaste for the mollies at this point so I hope it finishes them off haha.
