Hey guys so I got a purple Wolffish about a week ago. I have been feeding him live feeders and plan on settling him on other foods as well once he settles down. Anyways, I have not seen him eat once. If I place a couple of rosies in the tank with him they will be gone in a couple of hours. My buddy has a Mala and that thing chases the feeder fish almost as soon as it goes in the tank. I know mine will not be that aggressive, but I was hoping he would still show some food aggression from time to time. He is roughly 3.5in right now. Do you think he will get more food aggressive the longer he is in my tank and settles down or is this how he will likely stay?
 
I have no experience with wolves at all but I would guess just like any other piscavore he will settle in and start going after food once he realizes that's what you mean haha
 
Needs more time to settle in. Once he gets bigger it will be much bolder.
 
Might need time to settle in. It took a few days for my rainbow wolf to settle in after he got shipped to me but he was pellet trained and ate pellets. For some reason my guy doesn't go after live food.
