Help ID wolfish /Hoplias

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
^^^I have no doubt about the Wolf I got from Wes, but more and more folks out there started label their selling stock as "green" or Lac and claimed collected somewhere in Argentina or nearby places making thing more complicated or somewhat fun to get and try it out...At least it's fun for me :P
Who's telling the truth? who's know? I have nothing to prove nor identify these thing at this small size but taking the risk hehehe :) and I'm always say that it doesn't matter what kind of species my wolf gonna be I still love it, I love its bold behave approach and taking food direct from my hand make me happy :P

They are fine to live together before mature and a pair established, If your tank large enough then you should be ok as long other wolf DON'T wander into the pair claimed area, fight will occur here and there but once the pecking order establish it's not a problem. So far my babies wolf doing well, the alpha one (biggest one) will flare its gill to scare other off his spot and other will turn around and go somewhere else, feeding time is fun cause the fast one will get the food first not the alpha one LOL that does make it mad and start chasing other around for a bit. Every batch is different and in the past I've success keep a group of 9 wolfs together for years before I moved out of New Jersey in 15'x3'x3' tank so I'll try to accomplish that again but still not guaranty it will work this time :) cause I have smaller tank foot print.
 
My opinion on the iguaza as of now is either it's a new species or a hybrid cause aren't both lacs and malas located where the iguazas are found? But going by what we know now I have to say mala with the jaw lines making more of a v, then again it seems as so with australis make a bit of a v and are in the lacerdae group. Sometimes I look at my mala and his fins have a red tint to them, now there isn't anything red in my room so it wouldn't make sense for there to be any kind of reflection or lighting causing this, his patterns tend to be more like intermedius I've seen with the small vertical like lines. But as of now, for the iguazas, until described, we have no real answer for ID we can only make speculations and have debates. Makes the hobby all the more interesting.

I have invoice, airway bill, box and paper from Argentina, that I can post pictures of. There is only one person exporting from there. Unless its someone that collected the fish himsefl with Felipe in Uruguay. There are NO other exports from there this year.
