You know, you 2 can swap out that 2 tanks for few months... :p
I'm always into a tank with a group of wolf too, I'm not into mixing them with other species, I like both DB and JL tank :) both had their own unique.

Since, Its spend too much time hide under the center driftwood and don't eat a lot unless food right at its mouth, so I removed that driftwood and its started adapt with daily light on/off schedule. It's more active to get food now, usually its only grab food that sink to bottom but now it will chase and grab food mid way and eat a lot too, also its now leave my tiny octos alone (4 octos left so I called them fantasy 4 lol). I'll buff it up a bit and I might just keep it solo for master piece showcase. :p

A lfs 30 minutes driving from my house had a 8~9 inches marble goby, It look cool but I doubt my wolf will leave the goby alone. Does any one ever try this combo before?

So while I'm out of town my sister want to surprise me by added tank mates into my wolf tank, she added a Vieja Synspilum (common named redhead cichlid), and a paroon catfish, both of them abit bigger than 8 inches...I came home today:

I have to take this cat out because you can see a clear bite mark on it back...almost become a meal for a wolf.

The Synspilum servered torn tail and fins but still try to get along with the wolf lol
I probably take out the Synspilum if thing go too rough for it.

Well, after monitor the aggression for an hour and a half I decided to remove the Synspilum, the wolf clearly doesn't want to share its tank with anyone! But I have to say these tank mates did turn my wolf on and its extremely active and patrolled the tank more than usual...I have to find a right tank mate especially right size so it can handle the beat up from the wolf. :)
