Hi all,

Yesterday i decided to make a fairly hefty leap and order a new Wolf for my Pred community. The hope was that i would be ordering a Black Wolf however, the available species has been named Hoplias Macrophthalmus- Orrinocco. The issue with this is that according to Google, Macrophthalmus is a defunct name given to a few Hoplias species including Malabaricus and Aimara from Venezuala. Whilst i am excited to see the chap in the flesh, I have a picture of the stock and I am undecided. Threre are certainly Malabaricus features however it doesn't look anything like the Mala I had previously. So, here is the pic, tell me what you think;

I will say that i have been helped a great deal from a member on this forum so I'd like to thank Jelly publically for his help!

So, tell me what you all think..!

Ta.
 
No problem my pleasure. You know my opinion. for some time now blacks have been imported into Europe as Macros. I went through the same thought process you are going through now. It has come from venezuala. it's definatly a black.

I hope you get it, if you don't I probably will and attept a multi wolf comm. :)
 
so.... what do people think to my chances of keeping this fella in my pred comm? Especially with the gold wolves and Tat? (Bare in mind my Gold's get chased by geophagus..!)

Awesome combo or disaster waiting to happen? :popcorn:
