Fat boy/girl, don't have any idea of the sex of the Aimara yet. Eats anything meaty now. It got a fat belly from white market shrimp stuffed with Hikari Massivore/Carnivore Pellets. I just love how it interacts with me. Swims constantly when it sees me walk into the room, rubbing its bottom jaw on the glass. I like it more every day. 
I put the ruler up to the glass on the bottom front right corner a few minutes ago. Just as I thought might happen, the Aimara swam all the way across the tank to investigate. When I bought it from Wes about a month ago it was exactly 6 & 7/8 inches long. Tonight I measured exactly 8 & 1/8". It's grown 1 & 1/4" in right at one month. A LOT fatter also. Probably about 20% more in diameter now. Awesome.
Awesome, more pics when you can, should try a grow out thread, i saw someone asking if they're allowed, they are right? I was thinking of trying one maybe do an update on the growth every month whether it be girth or length. It could help people I believe. Keep up the updates, great looking wolf. Lol you made me want a black arowana even more. but i cant house one at this point. One day.
It's REALLY nice to be able to take a picture of a fish while it's not moving. It either doesn't give a shizzle about the camera or it's just planning on how to kill me in the future if I give it half of a chance. It actually comes toward me when I get close. Absolutely a wonderful fish to take photos of , because it's not skittish or scared and trying to get away from me and hide ,like the majority of fish in general act. Just absolutely positively not afraid of anything , living or inanimate. A true badass.
Great, Wolves are quickly becoming my favorite as i keep them and read more about them. I love when they float, the way their fins move and they look so weightless. My favorite fish prior was marble gobies but I'm thinking i just liked the specific specimen i once had as this one isn't seeming to be as interesting. Idk if I'm gonna keep him at this point.
