I once tried a wolf fish in with a jaguar, GT and JD before I knew much about wolf fish... lasted only a lil bit before I found out how big a bite the wolf fish had. He busted the side of the Jag wide open (she lived) and I ended up giving the wolf his own tank which is what they need.

A few years ago I would feed my fish crayfish once in a while and one of the feeder crayfish lasted like six months before it just died... really weird as they would eat any new crayfish dropped in, but not him??
 
Had a butti raise some feeder goldfish from 2" to 8", was even chewing up food for them. One day it snapped and started trying to kill them and my 4-line pim. They did last for a few years in a 75 gallon. BTW the butti was atleast 14".
