I don't know which would fish that is I'm not good with scientifics.. I had a wolf fish. I guess a "common" I kept him for 6 months or so. I could never get him to take anything but live food.. This is why I got rid of him. I regret it now though. Definately a bad ass fish. He was pretty inactive when not feeding. He would however put on a show when fed crayfish. He would seriously take them in his mouth and ram the glass with them.

Pretty docile so far. and is only eating live foods right now. But i got him looking at them pellets. Just a matter of time. Im only feeding it like twice a week right now . Trying to find out if he gonna take pellets eventualy

prepare livefoods.
i think it's better if you keep them in 4 or more.
tried to mixed it on my cichlids community but found dead the following day.

I have a Xingu lower mac which is the goliath version of the common wolf, its personality is similar to a common wolf only the main difference is it reaching the lenght of about 4' or even bigger in the wild. Common wolfs are very aggresive and if you are going to have tank mates make sure they are much bigger than the wolf, even then it is hard to ensure the saftey of its tank mates. Wolf fish are great fish to own and if kept correctly they should be very outgoing, I will say that some speices are a little timid in bright lights. They will take dead foods live foods , it just depends on how you want to keep him.
