Looking for pictures of wolf fish tanks. Setting up a 265 gallon tank for wolf fish and could use ideas. I want the natural look, thinking driftwood, sand, and live plants. Mostly looking for plant advice and photos to give me ideas. Unless anyone has a source of large drift wood reasonably priced.
 
I wouldn't do much for plants. Mine
have always been uprooted especially once they get bigger
 
Figured I would mostly use moss and some surface plant(duckweed maybe?) to cut light a little and make wolf more comfortable. Maybe a couple stout plants firmly anchored. Feel free to post pics.

whats the foot print on the 265? if your going to have plants i suggest
plants you can attach to the driftwood or planting them between large
rocks and wood so it doesnt get uprooted or just sticking with driftwood
and sand, maybe some floating plants or tie down some javas on the
driftwood for a woody/rooty look. as for the fish it self depends on what you
want. aimaras get the biggest then curu & lacs with micros being the smallest
other than the mala.
 
Really would love to see pics of some tanks. That's kind of the idea I was going for. Going with mala wolf fish.

i have some pictures floating around this sub section if you wanna look for them lol.

265g and only getting 1 mala? is this going to be a single fish tank or community?
 
Planned on starting with group of mala and hoping I can get them to pair off.
