How's the mala with the poly? Any issues with aggression from the wolf? Are you using an old test kit? Sometimes they will stop working, I usually double check with test strips to be positive.

If you gotta get rid of anything I would say the Oscar, it will probably be the first one to outgrow the tank as I hear they grow fast (never kept one though) and replace it with a top swimming fish that maxes out at around 15 inches. As far as it being overstocked I really don't think so, especially with the level of filtration you got going.

I concur the Oscar can stay in there in my experience Oscars max out at 12-14 inches. I grew out a 14 inch beast in a 90 gallon. and my other 2 look to be maxing out at only 12inches in my 180. Oscars also add a little more life to the tank as the polys and wolf I would guess stay near the bottom and an Oscar swims at all levels.

Idk why but i thought they maxed out at like 18-20 inch haha. Thats why i said replace it with a top swimming fish so the tank doesn't look empty. Rope fish are super active and I feel would be a nice, not too big growing addition to that stock.

Well the wolf is fairly docile along with the poly. I think it might be due to the wolf having a bad eye since i bought it, or maybe they like each other. The oscar is about 2y old now, i duno if they keep growing after that but i think he might be done lol

With wolves, you'll just find a mangled corpse in your tank in the morning. Hell last week I woke up to nothing left of my heckelli other then his head

My 8 inch red hi fin wolf did this, the heckelli was about 4 inch. Just to give you an idea the mayhem a wolf can cause if it wants to. The poly will be fine, but I think the Oscar is living on borrowed time if its kept with the wolf since the wolf has some more growing to do.
