Good point. When playing with expensive predators it’s best to play it safe and ask first. Both are rare, expensive fish and it would be a shame for something to happen to either of them.
Aimara...that got me thinking about who would win, an aimara or a GATF (pure curiosity no plans on trying this)?
I have a friend who has a vitattus with and a full grown curupira And some other pbass looking fish ( not good with names) and its been working..the vitattus is maybe around 16-18” but they grew up from juvies together..he has an aimara but its small and kept solo

Just them? well thing is u have to have funds... the problem with them is some are very aggressive some are not. If ur willing to spend money and time to perfect pair/group then it will work.. ive gone through buy and selling wolves just to get ones that are tolerant to other species. That tank size is good tho :)..and always have a backup tank.. mine are getting along now.. but i dont know if they would when they get full grown. wolves become more territorial as they age.

I see.. So its really hit or miss huh.. I really want that gold wolf, maybe a year before I see one again. Yeah I guess I have no choice but to setup another tank. All my backups and growout tanks are still occupied ? Thanks for the advice bro!

no problem bro..just my opinion but if i were u since u already have a vittatus. i”ll just get 2 more and grow a trio of vittatus in one tank.. then just get a bigger tank few years down the road.. those guys are nastyy. solo vitattus is my next project. And if u really want that gold just get a 40 gallon for it..or a 75g.

That was my original plan bro! I have 3 vitts, at first it was going well, but I dunno one day the skirmishes got really nasty to the point that I needed to separate. Biggest one was left in the 7 foot tank. I have 2 divided in a 5x2.
Here they are when they were in 50 gal growout

About 4” when I got em, around 6” now. Yeah agree with that.. Well they grow pretty slow anyways so maybe you could get away with it
