My common wolf will only eat feeders but i havent seen him do this tho im just assuming. I feed all my other fish worms but he wont take them.
 
starve it for few days and feed what you want it to eat. how big is the wolf? if too small then you might want to fatten it up first.
 
What have you tried? Try a piece of shrimp or something on a stick..make it "swim" around like a fish.
 
He is only 7 inches and not fat at all. I mya give him some feeders. I've tried worms and they wiggle in front of his face and he just swims away and this was after he was starved for 5 days or so
 
at 7" it should be fine, what i used was smelt.
what you can try is drop the food in, leave the room (and/or turn the light off). come back after some time to see if it ate, if not take the food out and try again an other day.
at first mine would only eat when I'm not in front of the tank but soon it start to eat the moment the food hits the water.
 
at night i have a black light on is that ok. Also he shares the tank with some other fish and hes the runt in the tank meaning he gets picked on a lil but hes the biggest fish
 
i would turn all the light off.
how long have you had it in that tank? what size is the tank and what other fish are in the tank with it?
 
the tank is a 75 for now have a 150 but cant be set up just yet due to space. The only fish in the tank that bullies him everyone else stays out of his way that includes a small sveni pike, and a ck.
