wolffish

[goodgene]

hi guys. i just bought a red wolffish. and on its head there is a small open wound. what is the best way to cure?

[goodgene]

this is the pic of my wolf. sorry about the pic quality.

[snakeheader]

try some melafix,always works for me

[goodgene]

melafix?

[Mudfrog]

Yea.. melafix is good stuff, although I'm not sure if they have it in Singapore... I would do big frequent water changes and add a little salt.. should get the job done.

[goodgene]

thank you guys. anyway i saw melafix at a fishshop nearby my house. gonna get one tomorow. and also may i know which species my wolf is?

[Mudfrog]

Looks like a Red Wolf to me, but could be a Gold Wolf.. I haven't seen too many Gold's at that size so I can't say 100% sure.

[ironmunki]

just add salt and turn the heat up a bit. wolves heal pretty fast so he should be ok soon.

[killerfish]

mine had somethin like that on it it healed up quick or i think it had somethin like that kinda hard to see from the pic

Its a rainbow/red wolffish erythrinus erythrinus

[snakeheader]

yep its a red wolf

[goodgene]

what is its max size?

[Dmaan.]

yeah pond melafix is probably the best way to go
i hear it does MAGICAL THINGS = ]

[goodgene]

it is very lazy.

[Mudfrog]

what is its max size?

8" is the max size on Red Wolves.. if you think it's lazy you should try a common wolf :D

[goodgene]

may i know how to differentiate their sex?

[Mudfrog]

If it's anything like the common's then it's near impossible to tell the sex, the females are thicker.. thats about all I know.

[goodgene]

thanks for the info man.
whats the best water condition for a red wolf?(eg.water temp,ph value,filtration etc)
more info will be good.

[channarox]

its a red wolf.
erythrinus erythrinus.
those in serangoon always have wounds. :irked:
but they heal fast.
when i got one there,i just add salt and my tank temp is always high.
they tolerate any kind of water.
but i think lower ph is better.
have good filtration too.

[Mudfrog]

I keep mine at 82 degrees, they like softer water as well. Aside from the temp they really aren't too picky about their water conditions, they just prefer clean water.

[channarox]

they are much more sensetive to nitrites too.

[goodgene]

i know nothing about the ph thingy..lol
may i know what is the best temp for red wolf?(in degree celcius)

[channarox]

my big tank is at 31.5 degrees celcius and my small tank is 28 degrees celcius.
but i think best would be around 30 or less.
