I'm in love with my Hogg, too. He doesnt seem to be as big as yours, but I wouldnt say that he's far behind, especially since he's grown like a weed and I've only had him for about a month. Mine is a bit hissy when you try and get him out of the tank, but very relaxed afterwards... and he's gotten less hissy since I got him, far less! The pinks on Hoggs are defnitely one of the best features. I'm hoping mine keeps his as well.
