So I recently got a wolf fish that looks the same like the one in the picture. He/she is in a 150 gallon right now with a clown knife, bichir, and jardini arowana. They will soon all go in to a 220 gallon and they are are all still small. He seems to like the bloodworms I've been feeding, but plz share any info I need to know about this wolf fish

Thanks

Can grow 20"+. Aggression depends on the individual, can be a push over or can be sent from hell. I'd watch how it and the jar interact. That's where you may have issues. They're likely to fight for the top spot. Clown knife may have a go as well. Any specific questions?

yeah I would move out the cories asap. They really do have no sense of boundaries. Even chill wolfish have limits---It will just take one nip. Also when a fish swallows a cory that's too big their spines lodge in their throat and you end up losing both fish
