How are red wolf fish in community tanks because I just got back from an aquarium store and the owner said I could mix a red wolf with a fire eel, black ghost knife fish, 2 clown loaches,a tiger oscar, and a giraffe catfish but he also said to add it last to the aquarium because its the most aggressive would a red wolf fish work in the community tank because I really like them.

Clown loaches should be kept in larger groups than two. Please stick to what you have said many times and stay focused on your 80 gallon. You don't even have the tank yet and you're still trying to figure out all these plans for this humongous multi-thousand gallon tank. Focus all this energy on planning your 80 gallon and actually getting an aquarium first. If you keep just going after this large tank that, quite frankly I don't think will ever happen, you're going to be tired of the smaller 80 gallon before you even get it.

A group of five or six would be best for them also you don't even have any tank yet and keep posting/listing all kind of bogus community tank. I'm done with you lol I won't pay attention to any of your post in near future! Gook luck!

I think it could work. The only thing would be tank size. What is listed requires a large tank. The red wolf would need to be added in as a large specimen as the eel and Oscar can make a meal of it when smaller. Eel and Oscar will outgrow it quick too. Once it has some size and gerth then it should hold its own. Temperament is also hit or miss. Would need lots of hiding spots if things don't work out.

At least 500, 600 even better. 800 would be perfect but 1000 would be almost ideal.
