How big!

[Daveeyj]

Hi! I have been offered this wolf fish and wondered how big it will get and if it will live with my bichirs and black ghost knife? Thanks

looks like a mal to me. and i think hed get 18"+ also the stuff in your tank will become a snack for him for sure.

actually i first should ask how big is the wolf and how big r ur bichirs? the ghost knife will probably be the 1st one killed.

Agreed, the wolf will probably kill your stock over time.

i dont know if u noticed in that video but most of the fish had fins that were destroyed. im guessing that within a couple months those peacock bass wont look the same. yes there is a chance that the fish will get along but i say that if the wolf is the same size as the bichirs and knife fish and has the average aggression of a wolf fish then within the 1st 2-3 weeks the knife will be dead and the bichirs will be hurtin pretty bad.

the only reason i give the bichirs more of a chance is cuz their scales give them more protection

ya this link had been shared awhile ago. The stock eventually got destroyed in a matter of months. ur bichirs and black knives are most likely going to get wiped out.

no chance against the jaws of the mala.

Dave, red wolf are you best bet. Tons of people have successfully cohad them with bichirs with minimal injuries. I used to have one with bichirs until my bichir bullied it! lol
