One of my LFS just got in a "Rainbow" Wolf Fish. Not sure if its a true rainbow wolf, but if it is, can I keep it with a few species of bichirs, a synodontis eupterus, and some larger cichlids? The biggest fish is the synodontis at 9 inches, the smallest is one of the Bichirs at 4. The wolf is about 3 inches.
 
Can keep with bichirs but would advise against cichlids. Can be too aggressive. Exceptions can be large Severus but the others likely will be a problem.
 
What cichlids? Them and the syno may bully the ery.

Agree it depends on the species of Cichlids. Personally have a mature Purple Ery with a large Geo and Polypterus. Was given to me by a good friend and member.
The Purple Wolf was in with growout CA Cichlids they harrassed it.
