From my experience gold wolves are just aggressive towards their own kind. I kept a trio of golds with about 6 or 7 bichirs and gars. The golds pretty much nipped each other all the time and left the others alone. Now my mala tolerates no one. Well he does let a small mystery snail share his tank but anything else will be killed. And like others have said, my mala is fairly active. I have floating plants blocking a lot of the light and i think this makes him more comfortable because he swims around more than one of my red wolves.
Common or Gold wolf fish

they'd hover together a lot. they didn't really patrol the tank together but they could usually chillin' in the upper mid area of the tank. that was when i had three. once one of them became sick and had to be removed from the tank the remaining two fought CONSTANTLY. i guess it's three (or more) or just one.

here in channa's tank,if you dont go with the school,youre out of the tank.
I've heard that gold wolves like to chase each other. I went to Shark Aquarium to buy wolf fish. I've heard that they sell all kinds but last time i went which is about 12 days ago, they only had "Hoplias Malabaricus, Hoplias Micro, and black wolf fish".
