Anyone got any information on this fish?

I just got one and I know the basic care for this fish, but I just want to know anything else extra which I might want to find out.

I love mine. It is eating feeder guppies now, the feeder platies are too big. Here are some pictures, pardon the quality as I took it with my mobile phone.

It didn't finish the fish as it was simply too large to be swallowed. So it only tore of the mouth of the platy. But it went off to attack the smaller guppies which it swallowed with ease.

red wolf fish very agressive and cant be kept together.

Yeap. It is alone in the tank now apart from the occasional excess feeders.

But still they are nothing compared to their cousins from the Hoplias family. Those are the real crazy buggers I want to keep. But they gotta wait till I get the tank for them...
 
Red fin wolf not very aggressive, can get from CF, mine just "up-lorry" 2 wks back, got a head injury after shifted to new place, and didnt recover properly(melafix not working), hang-on for 1 mths + , poor thing
