I still think yours looks more like a lacerdae but like I said I'm not the best at ID'ng them. But the head shape is a little different then most of the malas I've seen, it could just be the region it's from.

jaw structure is different.

Yeah he can be a bit slow in returning emails. I think from the time I sent my first email to the time he replied back was about a month! A bit of a wait but a week later I had my golds.

Over the course of a month and a half I had sent him about 7 or 8 emails asking what wolves they had in stock. Never heard anything from them. Luckily I found another supplier with some and had a reply within an hour, they will be getting first pick as my supplier as long as they have what I want ;)

Yeah, I hear you, Mud. I typically have little patience when it comes to something I want but I simply couldn't find those golds anywhere else. I kept looking but nothing! But I agree, nothing beats a good supplier!

i thought lacerdaes wouldnt have the stripe down the lateral line./

[channarox]

go to google and search : lacerdae jaw.
there you'll find some ways to ID lacerdae.

[Mudfrog]

i thought lacerdaes wouldnt have the stripe down the lateral line./
but if the jaw matches than it should be a lacerdae.

It was my understanding that only the Aimara didn't get the line.

[channarox]

then i think i got my hoplias mixed up.:nilly:

[vinnyrhom]

here is a good pic that erik posted a long time ago. if your wolf has parallel dentaries then you got the lacerdae, otherwise, it is the mala.

Is that the one where it snatches some whitebait or something and bites a crayfish in half....LOL....ive seen that vid....I would love to see it eat a (QUARANTINED OF COURSE) large tilipia, bluegill or bass. No viscious Aimara vs _____ video, just the fish doing what it does best....EATING....LOL....

haha.
that would be great.

[KRSwop1]

KRSwop1 why do you believe my fish is not lacerdae?

Well, lacerdae have a much more random blotch pattern and your fish seems to have the dark blotches in the same location as a malabaricus. Lacerdae and aimara's tails are much thicker and taller than malas. Their tails are much more parallel after the slope of their back, where as Mala's tail taper's down more from their back (it's narrower at the base of the tail than it is closer to the back). Then there's the jaw structure that needs to be taken into consideration. That's the easiest way to ID malas from the other species. If you can get a pic up from under it's chin, I can tell you for sure. If you search back through my threads, you can find pics of my old tapajos lacerdae and compare their pattern.

[local hero]

I'll try and get some new photos, it has that striped pattern with or with out the combination of the diagonal bars to form that herring bone pattern only during the day. In the evening (with the lights on) it looks exactly like the lacerdae SLANTED is trying to sell right now. The dentaries are parallel and non-convergent.........

[channarox]

never heard of a lac with the stripe though.

[killerfish]

My 31" Beast:eek:All ways good to see Aimara

It's true that lacerdae's sometimes have the dark band, but it's nt as prominent as it is in other wolf species. Here are a few pics of my old lac when it was smaller. This is what I was talking about as far as their pattern goes. It's random blotches, not a herring bone pattern like malas. And slanted's photos don't show the lac pattern very well, because wolves get darker as they get more mature and the pattern becomes not as noticeable.

[channarox]

nice wolf bro.

[sevendreamz]

I agree...very nice...

Everyone says there slow growers but mine has been growing pretty we'll wouldn't say fast but i can sure see some growth from the time i got him till now he also use to have a bite mark in his tail from a tiger loach i think ( only fish in the LFS tank that could have done it ) and that has healed we'll

I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure thats going to be a Lacerdae. I think the folds are wider apart on Lacerdae and more narrow on Malabaricus.. or do I have it backwards? :D

[local hero]

I think its lacerdae, most days. I go back and forth twice a day thinking its one or the other.............in the end does it really matter?

[channarox]

i think its a lacerdae.

[vinnyrhom]

sorry i am not an wolf expert, but your wolf looks like mala.. please correct me if i am wrong. i think G posted the same pics of yours.i will try to get those pics.

[channarox]

i think its a lacerdae.

i'll take that back.

Nope, you still have an awesome wolf so I wouldn't sweat it.

It's a mala. It's not a matter of how far apart they are, it's the shape and structure that help ID the species. The dentiaries move further apart when a fish breathes or opens it's mouth. The shape though doesn't change. Convergent means that they come together at some point. They don't necessarily have to touch, but they aren't running parallel to the jaw line, which lacerdae and aimara's do. Here's a pic I found on the web. Hopefully everyone will understand this after the pic is posted. And don't get me wrong, it i definately a cool wolf, but it does matter in IDing it. 1 lacerdae's are worth a lot more money, so if you decide to sell it you know what it's worth. And 2 if you paid a lacerdae price for a mala, you should get your money back.

So, as far as the pic goes, mala on the left (convergent) and lacerdae on the right (parallel).

I think yours would hurt more its bigger isn't it like 4''-5'' mine is like 3''-4'' plus yours has bigger teeth

Mine doesn't have plenty of spunk bites me all the time :)

[Mudfrog]

Yea my red is 5", it's teeth really started to come in around 4.5" or so, shouldn't be too long before yours come in.

Imagine this guy at 2ft....I mean sure might take about 2-3yrs but certainly its worth it. A true monster....SURE THERE ARE FISH THAT ARE BIGGER BUT THEY DONT POSSESS THE SPEED, TEETH, AND SHEER POWER OF THE WOLVES. Aimara being the #1 of course...LOL....;)

[channarox]

sweet teeth ppics!
wish i got one of my old mala.

[Mudfrog]

Exactly why I got into wolves. Easy to keep, doesn't require massive tanks like other monsters and would probably rip about anything else to shreds :D

[channarox]

eh...
im pretty sure aimaras and lacerdaes need MONSTER tanks.

[Mudfrog]

eh...
im pretty sure aimaras and lacerdaes need MONSTER tanks.

Well I know that but I'm comparing the relative size to say a Dovii or GATF or something. They would need much much larger tanks as they are much more active.

[channarox]

yea,thats true.

Very nice tank setup...very natural...well i never even dare to put in my small wolf fish tank...how you make your video slow mo? check my fish out too search under "zeroneox" :D

[Tigriuns™]

and the second pic the wolf fish got a V shape design too...

[killerfish]

hmm might not be try and get a shot of under its mouth

Good pic though i wish ERY ERY got teeth like that or if malas were active like ERY ERY

[killerfish]

Check out post #96 for a pic on the difference between Mala and lacerdae

[Tigriuns™]

here the bottom of the mouth...is it clear enough??

smaller wolf

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w152/zeroneox/CIMG0081-3.jpg
bigger wolf

the head and design not the same...maybe mala but different river?

[limz_777]

I think its lacerdae, most days. I go back and forth twice a day thinking its one or the other.............in the end does it really matter?


it does matters , lacerdae are the second largest species of the hoplias , it grows bigger then malas

[Mudfrog]

Mmmm love those teeth. Still looks like a mala to me but could be wrong.

both look like malas to me.
maybe different variants like you said.
the head shape does differ in variants.

[channarox]

some get around mala size and some get as big as aimara.:nilly:

agreed!:headbang2
i just bought 3 babies.
will get some pics soon.

[kendog1]

i think i just made the score of the day, just got back from the puppy center in new hartford, where i picked up a 12 inch wolf for 30.00. The score part is that it is either amaira or lacerdae. i went back iin this thread for the dentiaries pick and im good to go, definatley parrallel, sweet. My roomie has my cam so picks will have to wait until tommorow after work but im thinking one of the two for sure, pics as soon as i get in after work tommorow

dude sweet!
i think itd be most likey lacerdae IF its not mala.

[killerfish]

yep those are both malas

Never heard of a laceridea getting close to the size of an aimara but they are said to get bigger then malas

[channarox]

yep those are both malas

Never heard of a laceridea getting close to the size of an aimara but they are said to get bigger then malas

i have seen some variants that get to 4 feet.
aimara size.

[Mudfrog]

Mine's just a shade under 7" now.. he's growing slow but growing none the less.

[kendog1]

ok guys, heres some pics of the new wolf, by the way, the dentiaries are definately parallel, no doubt about it, he was def kinda tough to get pics of, ill try again in a few days after he gets a little more comfortable. let me know whattype you guys and gals think, thanks

[sevendreamz]

THAT APPEARS TO BE SOME SORT OF GOBY.........NOT A WOLF AT ALL........

[kendog1]

THAT APPEARS TO BE SOME SORT OF GOBY.........NOT A WOLF AT ALL........
its a wolf, gots lots of teeth to prove it, no goby here

[HarleyK]

LOL - shoot better pics
Whatever it is, it's one beat-up creature. You should've bought its tankmate :D

j/k
HarleyK

[sevendreamz]

Maybe im wrong, but that really resembles a Goby from the head and jaw structure. But I agree get some better pics.....LOL

[limz_777]

@kendog1 Did the LFS label it as wolf fish?

can anyone ID this species?

[channarox]

it is.............
A WATER COW...
and yes,sleeper gobies DO have some nice teeth.

[irwan]

It's a gobby for sure..............If you wanna make sure it is wolffish or gobby, make him fasting for some days and then feed him with little fish. If he chase the fish fastly/aggressively, you can be sure that he's wolffish but if he looks very slowly in chasing the fish, then he is gobby/water cow. But I am sure that he's gobby. :naughty:

thats not a sure way of seeing whether its a goby or wolffish,:banhim:

[Mudfrog]

Not a wolf.. it's a goby. Wolves have one dorsal fin, that guy has two. The mouth is just like a mouth of a marble goby and the head shape / eye location is different from a wolf. Still a nice goby though, I'd love to have another one.

[channarox]

its a wolf, gots lots of teeth to prove it, no goby here

dude...
you own a wolffish and you cant tell its a goby?

[irwan]

thats not a sure way of seeing whether its a goby or wolffish,:banhim:

Why not so sure? Wolfish is very aggresive when chassing its feeder while gobby is quite slow...........just try............Grow up man............when u see people has different view, u just wan to ban???????:screwy::grinno:

[channarox]

when the goby is hungry it will chase after its prey too.
depends on the fish itself.

[irwan]

when the goby is hungry it will chase after its prey too.
depends on the fish itself.
It will wait till the feeder approaching its mouth, or chassing very slowly. I do know since I keep 3 gobbies......

[Mudfrog]

I've owned both as well and I can say this is true and untrue. My wolf will not chase prey when hungry, he will slowly stalk it. Same as my marble goby did.

But it doesn't really matter because we can ID that as a goby based on the pics :D

[kendog1]

sad to say, but you are all right and i look like the dork that cant identify my own fish, and yes it was labeled as a wolf ufortuneately, taken for the first time as a consumer, but only because of my own ignorance, sorry guys and gals for the improper post of mistaken identity

[sevendreamz]

Its cool...dont worry about it bro. Either way enjoy ur new fish and Channarox is right, it all depends on the individual fish I have seen some wolves that actively chase and hunt their prey down (fast as lightning). Others simply ambush either way a WOLF is EXTREMELY FAST when it strikes even if its not moving at the moment. Rarely do they miss...its incredible to watch.

[channarox]

sad to say, but you are all right and i look like the dork that cant identify my own fish, and yes it was labeled as a wolf ufortuneately, taken for the first time as a consumer, but only because of my own ignorance, sorry guys and gals for the improper post of mistaken identity

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w152/zeroneox/CIMG0075-3.jpg

always go for the kill when i feed...eat till tummy really cannot fit then stop

[channarox]

only eats feeders?
i havent fed feeders in ages. haha
maybe i should start my fish on an all feeder diet.
pump them up. :D

Don't sweat it, I love those gobies and they make great pets :D

nice.
how long have you had him?

[killerfish]

Getting close to 4 months so hes grown a good .5'' a month kinda slow but still faster then what i've heard hes really beefing up to hes going to be thick when he grows up hope nothing goes wrong and i can grow him to 7''-8'' that would be sweet then i would have to think twice about sticking my hand in his tank or should i say territory

Heres a bad pic of him when i got him
http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w242/kieranstuff/RW.jpg?t=1220149891 (http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:void%280%29;)

Doesn't do a hole lot as far as size comparasin but still shows hes grown i'll do a little growth time line soon when i get the time

[Mudfrog]

Mine grew real quick as well.. I got him maybe 4-5 months ago or so and he was around 4" I think. Now he's around 6". Not extreme growth but I was expecting 1/8" a month.

[Mudfrog]

New pic of my fat Red Wolf.. right around 6". Can't wait for him to reach 8" or so..

[channarox]

two of my small wolves are hanging out together alot.
always next to each other and the smallest guys not near them most of the time.
wonder if theyre an early pair? :grinno:

[killerfish]

Would be cool if they breed later on i wounder what a breeding pair would be like now i wouldn't put my hand in that tank

[channarox]

a few people have bred them.
so i wouldnt be the first.
hopefully they dont breed cause as of now i only have one tank!

[channarox]

update:my biggest mala just ate an algae wafer! :eek:
smallest one grabbed two but spat them out.
the last one just sat on the pacman cat. :D

This is when he first moved in there.. much fatter

[West1]

Didnt see this thread till after I posted my thread:D

Here goes a 10" (or so) Gold Wolf I just picked up over the weekend:headbang2

The most active fish I have ever seen, hands down!!!!!!!!

Quick Question since there is a lot of Wolf experts here.......
In the 1st pic u can see a hole on his lower jaw. Is that HITH?? I knew he had it when I picked him up. Prev owner said he has always had it and it gets smaller and bigger from time to time and that is the biggest it has gotten

Thanks:D

[channarox]

nice one west!
you finally found something that keeps swimming. :D
can you get a better pic of that chin?

[Davey_8313]

Anybody have any pics of an adult (big) rainbow wolf? My lfs has a small one, but want to see what they look like when they get big first...

[channarox]

they pretty much look the same from 2 inches to 8 inches.
usually just fatter and more robust looking.

[Mudfrog]

There a video of one eating a mouse on youtube.. check it out.

[West1]

Here are some more pics of my Gold Wolf......

You can see the hole next to his jaw better

[channarox]

is it a clean hole?
without any meat or anything hanging out?

[West1]

is it a clean hole?
without any meat or anything hanging out?

Yup, it looks like a mini tunnel

[channarox]

not sure.
i guess it could be HITH.
but he looks great anywho!

[West1]

not sure.

Alright, thanks man. I was just wondering. Is that the biggest they usually get, 8"?

[Mudfrog]

Typically yes.. maybe a tad larger in the wild.

[channarox]

10 inches in the wild.
usually 8 in captivity.

[sevendreamz]

WE'RE SLACKIN ON PICS...GUYS....KEEP EM COMING...LOL....;)

[channarox]

i'll get some up today.
theyve found a new spot in the tank and are always piling onto each other like endlis. :screwy:

[West1]

WE'RE SLACKIN ON PICS...GUYS....KEEP EM COMING...LOL....;)

Here goes a far away pic (when I get close, the GATF swims away) of my Goliath stocking my Gold Wolf:screwy:(bottom left)

He swims real fast up to him and pulls up before he touches him. The same exact process that he does as he attacks feeders

[channarox]

damn camera needs to be charged! :irked:

[sevendreamz]

LOL...Cameras can be a pain in the A**......Nice combo u got there West1, anxious to see how that works out when these guys get bigger. You have both of them on feeders...?

[West1]

Everything is on Market Shrimp, EXCEPT my Goliath.
He is:screwy: stubborn:D

[killerfish]

Hmmm doesn't quite look like HITH all most looks like a wounder that got infected and is slowly healing

[channarox]

agreed.
but he said the previous owner said its been there since the wolf was small.

[killerfish]

hmmmm could be a scare but probably not if its getting bigger and smaller HITH can get bigger quickly but it useually takes a long time for it to heal up so if its getting smaller quickly then i don't think its HITH

[Mudfrog]

Some new pics.. measured at 7.25" today.

Nice mala.. how big?

[mynheers_a_pint]

he's about 10" now. Had him for 5 months and really kicked off my MFK hobby. He knows when i'm in the room and ventures out of the planted end of the tank when i'm about. If only to get food...

very nice.
he looks pissed. :D
i have a scar from an old mala of about 16 inches or so...

Lol he definitely was pissed he was about to dive bomb me in that pic. He will first flare his gills at me and if i don't move my hand he will curve his body into an S shape like and snake. Then shoot out and hammer my hand hes a surprisingly fast fish. He doesn't like intruders he bites everything that enters his tank. Even the grave vacuum and fish nets i use to try and get rid of all those hornwort needles. Hes a very fun fish total glass banger like a cichlid and is all ways hungry, Love this guy
