I would like to know if i can keep a piranha and a wolf fish together in one tank? Or is there any fish that can be kept with wolf fish(Hoplias Malabaricus)

This combo will not work...more than likely the wolf will kill the P....there are always exceptions, but RBP's are skittish especially solo ones and wolves will tear a single one apart. RBP's do better in larger groups and Hoplias can have tankmates but its best to start them young with that, b/c an older one will not except tankmates and will eat/kill them. RBP's and wolves....NO WAY....
 
no piranhas with wolves.
if the wolf dont eat the Ps,the Ps will eat the wolf.
it just doenst work.

wolves can be kept with tankmates that are not aggressive but can fend for themselves if they need to,and all of them should be at the same size.
generally,old wolves that have never been with tankmates will kill anything and everything.
the secret is raising a young wolf with tankmates from the start.
 
I wouldn't try it, especially with their reputations.
