I just replaced my 55 growout with a new 75 growout just for the extra width till i put the 150 i have up for the future. I want to try and keep another wolf fish as my previous attempts failed. I never had a wolf fish kill any of my fish rather my previous fish (jag, and loiselli) killed my previous 2 wolves. There was a good size and bulk difference between the fish meaning the cichlids were a inch or 2 bigger but much bulkier. Now that i have small fish i want to try another wolf thats around 2-4 inches if i can find one. My stock is a lil high right now because I'm figuring out which fish work well together and when fish get out of hand they will go or the weaker fish will go but i will drop some fish to get the wolf. My stock is as follows and there are pics. Also if you can identify the the last fish pic that would be cool ive been told its a loisseli,freddy and a mota but not sure what it is yet

1 jag 2 inches
2 jd's (1 is 5 inches, and the other is 2 inches)
1 convict not too worried about him he gets by somehow
1 sveni pike 5 inches
1 ck 7 inches
1 delhezi bichir 6 inches
 
You are way overstocked. The Svenii Pike will get to 10", the Dovii will get to 16" and will have to be kept alone, the Salvini will get to 6", the Clown Knife up to 38", and the Delhezi to 16".
 
I said i was overstocked for the 75 and as you can see i put a pic of my 150 upgrade tank up so you know i have a bigger tank.. First were did it say i have a dovii or a salvini. Its a jag and the last fish pic is either a mota,freddy, or loiselli
 
Good luck finding such a small wolf as I've never seen them that small for sale...The fish in the last pic looks like a Motaguense.
 
You're going to need a big tank to house all that as it is (at least 240 gallons). By "wolf fish" do you mean Hoplias sp. or Parachromis dovii?
 
well i dont plan on keeping the the ck because i know how big they get but the fiance bought it so ill keep it as long as i can
