[Tucc185]

[Tucc185]

another pic :D

[kido]

great looking rainbow wolf you got there ;).. would love to get my hands on one of those but they are scarce in our part of the world :(

[woodysun-Taiwan]

Share my wolf fishes for you! :)

[RobD23]

:WHOA: Thanks for the pics they lead me to fully understand that the closest big als to my house has a bunch of numb skulls :screwy: working there because i bough what they had listed as a redtail wolf and i now realize it is a rainbow wolf... i also bought a baby true wolf i have them both in separate tanks 33 gallons each, is that big enough?

[benzjamin13]

I don't think that'll be good enough for when they grow bigger, but if it's temporary, and depending on their current size, it shouldn't be a big deal.

[mbierzyc]

here is my red hi fin wolf fish .

[Raskolnikov]

If by "true wolf" you mean Hoplias malabaricus (common wolf fish), then a 33g tank is not large enough to house one for life.

...and here are a few more wolf pics for this thread:

How big does a Rainbow Wolffish or a Redtail Wolffish grow? And how do you tell the difference between redtail wolves and rainbow wolves? Sorry for all the questions guys i'm new to this stuff so i'm alil :screwy:

[mbierzyc]

I was told that my red was nearly full grown, as they supposedly max out around 10".

[Fomoris]

Woody : You've got an awesome collection... Maybe the better one I've seen in my life :)

[Tucc185]

Is the rainbow wolf fish the same species as the regular and red-fin wolf fish? I couldn't find much info on it, and I can't tell whether it's just a color morph or a different specie altogether.

[yetex]

[Tucc185]

Thanks, so it is a different species than the standard wolf fish. I think your picture didn't work though..

[Tucc185]

[joel]

some info.

[woodysun-Taiwan]

Hi Fomoris,
Thanks. :)
The first wolf fish which I post in page 1.
It's very rare, it's golden type. In Taiwan, we call him "Amber wolf fish".
The second wolf fish is black wolf fish "from Xingu basin". The color is very black than another area.
The third wolf fish is very popular in Taiwan. Just wolf fish, not expensive.

[redwingbum19]

those things are evil!!! i love them, if anyone's in ohio come on down to aquarium adventure in columbus, we have some of the blck and red varients. about 7-8in right now.

[RobD23]

Someone please find a picture of the largest captive wolffish anyone has every seen...

[joeytoe]

Seeing all these Wolf Fish brings me back years ago when I last had one. I miss that fish.

[Taz2478]

just got one yeasterday @ my lfs for $17. found a nice duck off spot right away. cant wait to see him eat something, hopefully nothing already in the tank.

[astronatus]

Sorry, man, but that is one fugly fish.

Hey dude you think you could film that huge wolf you have eating a feeder mouse :naughty: ...that would be so cool to watch...i once fed three pirahnas a mouse...after about an hour and a half they got brave and destroyed it :eek: . it was awesome :headbang2 :woot: :thumbsup:

[redlinez33]

Great looking fish

[tpeezy]

cool!

[Filthy Sanchez]

Nice fish, if I ever start a monster predator tank a wolf fish is a must have.

[MagnusApollo]

impressive fish.

[jelly]

woodysun-Taiwan. I love the Black Wolf, I would like to get one of those.

I have started my wolf collection with a Golden Trahira, Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus, Looks like a Rainbow Wolf, Better looking in my opinion. but gets a bit larger, in fact twice the size, 40cm, 16". Very shy fish at the moment, trying to get a pic to but on this thread.

[dimebag]

cool!any updated pix?

[Magnus30]

That wolf is awesome, I didn't notice this post & just asked if anyone had them. I've had 3 and are my favorite fish!!!

[KRSwop1]

good lookin pics everyone

[jelly]

My Golden Trahira, Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus. Finally made itself visable after two weeks of hiding.

Unfortunatly photography is not one of my great skills.

[rumblesushi]

damn jelly, that's a nice wolf. Shame it's still in hiding, I thought it woulod be similar to an ery ery, which don't seem shy at all, and are active.

Has it nailed any feeders yet?

[jelly]

I had alot of trouble getting him to eat so got desperate trying to encourage him with all sorts of stuff, I don't usually feed feeders but went and got a small group of danios. Ate all six over one night and now eats everything I put in there, Only in the dark of course. I still have not seen him eat yet.

[kapster76]

how big of a tank for the wolf fish is ok. is a 55 ok for one wolf fish?

[CAPOREGIME]

Depending on the wolf youre getting. Wont house a hoplias M but a smaller rainbow or red tail would work.

[marscortes]

nice:D

[matty]

Here's mine only a baby at the moment :D

[big E]

I would like to get one of these and they are availible at LFS, but I hear that they don't even move unless they are eating, if this is true I may change my mind, They are still good looking monsters though !

[Hakon]

I'd liike to keep some of those fish afterwards... Great baby wolf matty

[kapster76]

ya they do not move that much. They will hide under things including gravel or sand most of the time. I still think it is a fun fish to own!

[Dovii dude]

Wolffish are much like owning some Piranhas(Rhoms,Brandti's etc)they are not very active but they do have personality's all of thier own.And keep in mind they are ferocious predators,probably 1 of the best!!!:headbang2

[trying not to kill them]

my alltime favorite. have to malas in a 90. about 6" each now eating freeze dried krill. about a 10 pieces per day. how long until they reach a 1'?

[Alexis83]

nice fish u have there!:cool-1:

[trying not to kill them]

nice fish u have there!:cool-1:

i think i can say with some certainty that this is how we all hope our malas turn out! very nice job.

[KILLERKOI]

what would be the best tank setup for one,or dose it matter?? and could i get away with a 5"baby one all by itself in a 30g with very strong filtration, since they arent really that active???

[kapster76]

i would go bigger for a wolf. They grow quick and need room and even tho they are not active.

[trying not to kill them]

what tanks is everyone using?

[kapster76]

i am using a 55 for a grow out. Not sure what size for the rest of the time!

[IMFishHead]

Here's a pic of the KING of all wolffish! He's currently a Shark Aquarium, for @ $3000 he could be all yours. Over 3 feet long, and giant girth! I have been a tropical fish hobbist for a LONG time and this is truly the baddest TROPICAL fish I ever saw! Picture does NOT do this fish justice, since it's in a 10 foot long tank!

[snjets]

wow that thing is huge how many feeders can he eat

[snjets]

nice fish u have there!:cool-1:

what size tank is he in and what does he eat

[IMFishHead]

Feeders? That dude eats whole chickens LOL!

[piscavore pisces]

My Golden Trahira, Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus. Finally made itself visable after two weeks of hiding.

Unfortunatly photography is not one of my great skills.


am i wrong in thinking this isnt a golden trahira? looks like a hi fin. can someone clarify? nice looking wolf you have there whatever it is.

[jelly]

am i wrong in thinking this isnt a golden trahira? looks like a hi fin. can someone clarify? nice looking wolf you have there whatever it is.

You are correct. It is Ery Sp. Peru. Really good looking fish now, Closely related to the Hifin but not as active. Only 8" max but would still eat the kitchin sink:)

[PhullTank57]

Pics of my (current) Red hi-fin wolf, and ex-former Golden wolffish. :)

Both these species... my personal own 'wolf' favorites!! :headbang2 For me anyways.

[Malcus]

Those wolfs was awesome!!!!!:cool-1:

[piscavore pisces]

man i want a gold so bad right now. i emailed shark aquarium and i'm trying to be patient any wait for the reply but i'm too excited to get one haha. you guys and your wolves are making me jealous!

[BigPleco]

What type of Wolf is the one for $3000 and over 3' long? How old do you think it is? Thats a heafty price, but one awesome predator!!!!

Here's a pic of the KING of all wolffish! He's currently a Shark Aquarium, for @ $3000 he could be all yours. Over 3 feet long, and giant girth! I have been a tropical fish hobbist for a LONG time and this is truly the baddest TROPICAL fish I ever saw! Picture does NOT do this fish justice, since it's in a 10 foot long tank!

[IMFishHead]

It is a Hoplias Aimara A/K/A Black Wolffish! I'm sure it's old, hate to buy it and have it die!

[KRSwop1]

I hope this doesn't come off "know-it-all'ish," but aimara are not black wolfish. The black wolves are an undescribed species that come from the xingu river. And to me, they seem to be more similar to lacerdae. Aimara is the king of all wolves. They get the largest and typically are more aggressive then the other wolf species, but there are always acceptions to the rule.

[IMFishHead]

Anyones input is always welcome to me, KRSwop1, I can only go by what I read or find on the internet, as to how others label their fish! Well atleast I got the Aimara part right, so when I guy told me his Aimara was a black wolffish , I took it for gospel.

[KRSwop1]

lol. Good to know. I didn't want to come across as a little *******. Just wanted to spread the correct info. It's like going to an aquarium and looking at a caribe display and hearing people call them red bellies, lol. Dookie or Chucky had their black wolf up for sale rescently if you wanted to check out some pictures to make a comparison. The wolf george has is a Venezuelan Aimara. Very nice fish.
