Okay, so I have a baby gaft which is around 4 inches, Im planning to buy a wolf fish wich is also 4 inches. Id ever I plan to keep them in a temporary 90g tank until they grow bigger. The gaft is in the 90g tank all alone, is it okay?
 
I had a 11inch malabracuis that ate.a 8 inch armatus
 
Both at 4" it should be fine but you will need to keep a eye on the growth rates a wolves do tend to go for bigger food items. Long term when they are alot bigger they should be fine together in a suitable large aquarium.
 
that a pretty good risk. If you r getting amira and it kill gatf that wouldnt be so imbaressing if it get kill by a "normal wolf" that would suck. gatf r harder to come by these day and they cost way more than a common wolf. i dnt think size matter if the wolf want to bite it going to bite. gatf r weak at 4''
 
Man! I bought the Goliath for 60 dollars and the wolf fish that is being sold is also 60 dollars. I'm now thinking whether it would be safe... My Goliath is even afraid of a 3" tilapia.
 
$60 for a gatf and not vatf is a good deal. i would wait until 8" - 10" he would be much better off if something would attack him.
 
The wolf is hoplias malabaricus. Its pretty small. Since Im still having my exams now, I'll decide next week. Still saving allowances XD
