I have recently got my first Red Wolf! I've been wanting one for a while and my LFS happened to have em for 30$ (never seen em that cheap online) a few weeks ago. In my tank as of now there is a decent 9 in Ornate Bichir that gets along with the wolf fine, they dog pile and everything. I am having hesitation picking other tank mates, seeing as though soon as feeders hit the water the Red is all over em in a flash. And mine beat the hell out of its shipping mate (don't know why a supplier would put 2 very agro fish together) its hi fin was ripped off, its left pectoral was gone, and a good chunk of its tail. Along with a nasty bite to the face. Point is, what specie are good to stand up to red wolves other then big bichirs? I have an Azul Cichla (peacock bass) in my friends tank (to grow out and not be eaten) anyone have exp with the combo? Any input would be greatly appreciated
 
how big is the wolf? That ornate might eat it.
 
the wolf is the same thickness as the ornate, the ornate is just a good 3, 4 in longer. i dont think he will ever be able to fit in his mouth
