Not with delz but larger lower jaws. Needs a 100g or bigger, that’s just IMO. It’ll get over 20in easily if treated well.

No cause other wolves get too big. It’s risky with delz and their slow growth compared to larger wolves.

Yes. Had them with my polys a while ago and no probs.

They are more active compared to reds and purple.

Had this Purple Wolf with larger Polypterus for years. The Purple Wolf fish would flare at a large female Ornate lol but they shared a corner together. The Ornate and Purple Wolf has since passed .
