Ackies are great monitors as are Tristis. Tristis have a bit of the long necked look, get a tad larger than acanthurus and make great captives.
The other monitors you mentioned - namely the Doreanus and the Jobiensis often make nervous captives.
Dumerils monitors (I have one) are nice animals but mine took a good long while to calm down - plus my limited experience has been that they prefer their shellfish diets.........
Just out of curiosity - I have never seen a Horni approaching 7'. Most I've seen barely crack the 5' mark. Is there a freakishly large one running about somewhere?
