Back in with the Wolves

[jelly]

It's been a long time since being here, I have had many Wolf fish species in the passed and most of them have been on here, about 6 Months ago my long term Aimara, 15 or so years, died, leaving a massive hole, haven't really been into the fish lately, it took me a very long time to decide what to put in the tank, I am going to do a fairly loose Orinoco Biotype starting with this new one, Hoplias Curupira, that has really got me interested again, got him about 10 days ago, only about 10cm now. Taking daily pics so I can see the growth.

That's a looker. Any tankmates?

Thanks, nothing yet as in a small grow out while I get the destination tank sorted, not sure on tank mates yet as I want to do a Orinoco type setup, so looking for a medium sized plec or 2, then some sort of shoaling fish, no idea yet.

Red tail barracuda acestrorhynchus are awesome in a trio very active but I'm not sure if the wolf will play nice as I don't know much about them

Leporinus, silver dollars, maybe some shovelnose (S. lima) catfish, Platydoras cats, a few cool large growing plecos and school of smallish cheap tetras (movement and color) would be on my list of candidates depending on tank size.

Yes looking for a Plec species now, I ideally want one that lives in the same locations and river types, I am investigating that now. tank is 6'Lx2.5'Wx2'H

I had small tetra's with my Aimara and may give that a go when this one is much larger.
