wolf can be tricky to house with other fish.
i know people who have had no problems but not anything long term and other who removed the other fish asap.
its a suck it and see kinda situation.
make sure you have somewhere to put it or the other fish or try it with something inexpensive

I know of a guy who housed 2 of these wolf fish together. The first time, they fought and tried to tear each other up. He seperated them and tried again soon after, and it worked out fine till this day.

how about a maiwi eye biter
i've got mine with silver aro, pair of convicts, 1 JD, 1 P. senagalus, a juvenile Hoplias malabaricus, and a few other predators. sometimes they fight, sometimes they don't. I will eventually put the aro in a 300g and and the Hoplias will be put into its own tank. in a few months, or sooner.

My wolf fish seemed to be fine w/ the other fish at first, but after about 2 weeks he snapped and proceeded to wipe out most of the smaller cichlids. He was only aggressive at night though, I never saw him go afer anyhing when the lights were on. Needless to say, he's in the 'uncooperative' tank right now.
