The guy at the pet store had no idea of the scientific name for these wolffish in first three pics. He had them in with a bunch of pikes and just referred to them as "another kind of wolffish". They were all swimming around alot the whole time I was watching them.

The fourth pic is of the regular wolves he had. Are these all the same type of wolffish?

Sorry for the terrible cell phone pic quality.
 
looks like a common
hoplias malabaricus
 
agreed. from my experience common hoplias malabaricus have decent patterns and markings at smaller sizes and younger age, which gradually turn to a uniform darkened color once they reach a good size.
