That is the most active and aggressive wolf fish i had seen. Let alone a black one.believe it or not this one is my less aggressive one
The common name black wolffish is associated with Hoplias curupira. This is Hoplias aimara. Not sure if you were literally just referencing its color or saying black as in the species
All Hoplias pretty much do that. Actually the only open water wolf is the gold wolf hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus. Maybe other hoplerythrinus as well, not much known on the group. But if anything aimara would probably be the most active being the one found in rivers the most. Though lacerdae and curupira might give it a run for its money. They're all still ambush predators.
These guys do sit around a lot , but probably more active then you would think . and when the lights go out there pretty much active all night
Yea Hoplias especially are nocturnal. Hoplery is diurnal. Not sure about ery, they seem to be lazy once large no matter what. Matter fact the last one I had was the only one I ever had that was active. He was typical at first in a 30b. Active when young once he hit 7" he got fat and lazy. Then I put him in my 120 and he acted just like my gold wolf. Here's some pics. He tried to fight with both my odoe and gold wolf they ignored him completely. Upon first introduction he tried hiding with my Trachy she bit him good and kicked him out.
And they can do damage now if you let them. But at 2' you'd definitly need stitches if they get a good grab. Hell maybe with a nip.
