Black wolf growth rate?

[.C.J.]

I just got this guy today at 9". I traded him for my 14" armatus as the armatus is bullying its tankmates. I was wondering whats the growth like on these guys? Its my first time keeping a black wolf so im not really sure what to expect. Ive kept a malabaricus before but only for a few weeks as i became bored of it cause it doesnt move much. Thanks!

So its safe to say that these guys grow slow? How about their temperament, are they aggressive towards other tankmates?
What were you feeding yours?

Temperament depends on the specimen. You can get a killer or a runner. Majority will stick up for themselves. As long as you give the fish its space ime you will be fine assuming it hasn't grown any dislikes towards anything. I noticed anything that attacked mine didn't last. But aside from that he was pretty good.

When i first put him in the tank yesterday he was still shy and keeps on darting away but today he's out on the open and swimming. Unlike my malab before that just stays in one place. He doesnt seem to be showing any signs of aggression towards tankmates right now.
Thanks!
