He is not eating, this morning i thought it ate jaguar, but now i see jaguar Is swimming out again. I dunno how to make it eating, like u said, wait for a week for him to adjust to his new environment. I believe this fish can starve for a month.
By the way, it doesn't eat krills that i feed him everyday -.- I dun wanna feed feeders everyday.

i would do a 25% waterchange every other day, for the next 2 weeks...

do u have a testkit?

cloudy water and cloudy eyes tells me there is something wrong w the water...

any questions please ask!!!

my water used to be crystal clear, always. Until since i got this wolf fish, water became so cloudy, i added extra high density carbons, but did not work. I already changed water 3 times this week, dunno why. All i did is reduced water level by 50% so at midnite when it jumps, doesn't hurt himself again and lose his teeth. What should i do for the next step? usually how long will it take for him to start eating? Imma go buy more feeders tomorrow to see if it eats.
And also that cloudy right eye was like that when it was in shark aquarium, i thought it will recover in the future? people said it is a scratch. I asked the guy in shark aquarium, but he wasn't sure if its gonna be there permanently or not.
 
If I am reading this right you are lower your water level at night by 50% so at night when the wolf jumps around in the tank it can not get out and or hurt itself. If this is so are you still able to run your filtration system with your tank half empty? Also i would wait on the feeders for a few days and get a drop test kit and check the tank water for ammonia and nitrite. You added a fairly large fish to your bio load and you may be experiencing some ammonia spikes which would cause stress and loss of appetite for the fish. But no one knows until you check your parameters.

try shrimp or smelt...
 
dont lower the water level...let him jump and hit himself if he wants to.
he will stop eventually unless theres something wrong with your water...
test the water.
is the tank cycled?
if he even takes feeders,give him that til he bulks up...

Right now water is 81 F. Water level reduced by half, filtration is still running, i added more carbons. Now i think it stopped jumping, and trying to catch fish at night.
 
Man you gotta listen to us if you want to save him.. Forget about the carbon. Test the water with a liquid test kit. If the water got cloudy when you added him it's more then likely a mini cycle from your tank not having a sufficient bio load. What size tank and filtration do you have?

Also get the poor little wolf some cover.. I "tried" a bare bottom tank with my wolf and he always seemed stressed. I added some sand, rocks and driftwood and all is well. They do not like being in the open unless they chose to, at least put something in there for him to hide behind.

Keep the tank at 81, do frequent water changes but most of all test the water ;)
 
Regardless of what you "Want to do" You "Need" to do whatever it takes to get some food in this fish or get ready to lose him, I understand that the cost and hassle of feeding Live foods is not an ideal situation however you accepted that challenge when you brought the fish home. I say do whatever you have to do to get him fattened up then try to wean him over when he stands a better chance of surviving the ordeal. Thats my .02 cents worth.
 
water is crystal clear now. I added gold feeder fish, it ate just in two seconds and its belly is so big now ^^ now can anybody tell me whether its male or female?
My jaguar same size as feeders, has killed almost all feeders.
