These fish are awesome. I looked into one once and was told they get huge fast, and are often aggressive. I have the same questions, so hopefully someone who knows will provide answers. Id like to know if theres one thats not too large and is not aggressive.

Theres one at the lfs here in an in a 20 ft in ground brick tank that is bigger than my forearm in length and mass. He has a sign up to keep fingers away. If you bend over he comes up to bite.

Found this on another site on the longhorn:
grows up to 18 inches
The Longhorn Cowfish prefers a tank of at least 150 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim.
Level of Care: The Longhorn Cowfish is a high maintenance fish.
Behavior: The Longhorn Cowfish may act peacefully toward other fish. It is a venomous fish, ostracitoxin. Warning signs include stress and concavity in the side walls.
Hardiness: Difficult to keep in capitivity
