o theyre that agressive? k if i can get my hands on a wolfie ill build a whole intricate system of caves for it

Yes they are that aggressive, Mine killed my Oscar and always chases my fish around all day long, And If I have a fish that does not run and just sits there and gets bitten he will get killed eventually.
 
My red wolf is really cool, hes with 2 bichirs, and a african knife fish. There are a bunch of rock formations with caves, and he claimed one as his own. So far he has minded him self and just chases other mates out of the cave. As for a gar, as long as there is not a large size difference or you get a killer wolf, it should be fine.

is there a diffrence in temperment between male and females? cuz if so i can get the sex thats more mellow and not have it attack the tank mates

that sounds awesome! ill proly get the gar first cuz i alread ordered one and its gona be the biggest fish in my tank most likely so it should be fine haha im not gona make the same mistake as my friend did he had a realy nice gar along with a rtc and the red tail gobbled the gar up :irked:
 
do the wolffish or the exodons. you could do a tat or scomb payara. they are just not as aggresive as the armatus. i would not go with any gar that is just too small of a tank. the wolf is probably your best bet
 
black pirhana would work good, have to be a single fish though. Only problem with the gar is that they will need a wider tank, they're not that flexible and have a habit of breaking their back in too narrow of a tank, aim for 24" width for florida/spotted gars
 
I live in the uk and my friend has a Wolf fish in an oddball community tank. Lets jus say you need to keep them well fed and no other top swimmers...

Males seem to be more territorial than females, It's just the males look much better than the females.
