I think the footprint is not ideal for a red wolf, from my experience, a 40b would be the minimumRed wolf is a squeeze for a 36, but it was recommended for me when I was stocking my 36. I wound up opting for the puffers for activity.

If you’re looking for a solo predator fish, I’d go with one of the pao type puffers

There’s a few cichlids that would work, Shell dwellers are sweet,maybe a group of smaller julies
You could probably do a pair of keyholes or HRPs

It would be similar to keeping a red wolf in a 36, not ideal but could work, at least for a while. A purple wolf might be a possibility as well.
