Very nice. I've always liked the idea of doing a monster fish with little tiny community fish. I'm sure a few will disappear over time, but it always looks cool to me when you can pull that off.

Nice wolf but I'm not fan of bare tank
My Aimara doesn't bother fishes that too small to eat lol I thought it would eat all my corydoras and octocinlus but its just leave them alone, he ate all the clown loaches (4~5 inches) though.

Last time i put 15 bucktooth tetra, it lasted for 2 months.. Hopefully this time, will last atleast 3 or 4 months.. I still see my aimara play with them every now and then.. By playing, i mean munching on them.. LOL

Dont want my aimara to have injury or get wounded thats why i decided to make it like this..

My aimara is crazy, he likes to bully even the small fish.. I used to have 15 bucktooth tetra, he ate them all.. Now neon tetra, started with 500 pcs, i think now about 300++ pcs left.. 15 chinese algae eater now left 4 pcs.. And about 20 local pleco, some he ate some he killed.. Crazy, right!? LOL

hahaha it does! Bucktooth Tetra aka Exodon Paradoxus is way too big too for an Aimara to ignore, those shiny color 4 inches (max size) fatty will become food/snack sometimes
*My sister got a tank full of exodons and I did a test...I took a bunch of them and put them in a bag and then place them in my tank, my hoplias went after them right a way and try to bite through the bag to get them...I put those exodons back where they're belong lol.
