Did the Wolf fish have any tankmates when you grew it out?

Tbh I wouldn't risk putting the Wolf with the Oscars.

From my understanding you are better growing a wolf out from 4-5" with larger calm oscars with plenty of room.
A 13" mala will likely be used to living alone if it's been kept alone and will likely not feel comfortable or see the oscars as food ...
It's risky imo purely cause the wolf HaS the teeth to do serious damage and the established oscars will likely already be territorial. If the oscars try to lip lock it it will end badly.

How big are the oscars and how big is the tank... If the oscars are fully grown and the tank is + 180g plus the wolf has lived with tankmates as hinted to above then maybe it will work

Any pics of the mala? Why are you selling him/her?

I see him here, I remember speaking to you now... He lives alone, too risky imo...
I would be willing to try him if you wanna bring him to Kent?

he grew up alone and was very aggressive when younge even bit me has calmed down a bit though

Wouldn’t do it. Cichlids are territorial. It will lead to squabbles and possibly death. Can get away with hoplias in large predatory tanks but likely not with 2 oscars.
