Deadeye’s Red Wolf Fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My fault for not updating here enough - I always tell myself I will and then months pass before I do.
Speaking of updates…

How’s the wolf doing? When my red wolf passed it was a solid 12” and made my 65B look small when it decided it wanted to be active. Yours seems to still be growing.

Still doing great! He’s sitting at 9-10 inches now, almost as wide as the thinnest part of the tank (11 inches). Almost 2 months ago now I vacuumed out most of the mule that layered the bottom and I think he’s still mad about it (he used to hide inside it). I’m sure his appetite is still good enough to eat any pleco or cat I want to try, so it looks like I’m still the only one putting a dent in the algae.
The Aqueon Quietflow that I had been running for years started to run not so quietly (despite my best efforts to clean and replace broken parts), so I got an Aquaclear 50 and I love it. Much quieter and seemingly more efficient (it actually fits media instead of just cartridges).

Is that one of those 36 gallon bow fronts? I see PF has the red wolfs can they live in a 55?
It is - at his current size he’s definitely making the tank look small, I just don’t have the room to upgrade him (and if I moved him into my 75 or 125 it would be a bloodbath).
One could definitely go in a 55, but a wider tank would be better. They aren’t terribly active, but room to turn around is always a benefit. The bow has the 15 inch middle that makes up for the thinner sides.

Thank you for the info
 
I had a large bn male pleco with my wolf for awhile but it had to hide under a large log otherwise the red wolf would go after it. Too big to eat, but it still an issue because it was in the wolf’s tank.

Your wolf is showing a lot of yellow colors, my last one was pretty dull colored but was always fun due to the personality. My new one seems like it may have a little more color than the last and being that I got this at a smaller size seems a lot more interactive too.

Thanks for the update Deadeye Deadeye , fish is looking great!
