New monster curupira

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So what're your plans? Still gonna try it with a jar? What are their sizes now?
 
Well i tried it with the jar. I had lights off and moved tank around. Introduced wolf and it was non stop flaring from wolf. Jar would keep circling him trying to nip his fins. I think if the wolf put him in check once it would be fine. But jar is in another tank. Im gonna,let wolf settle and try it again. Heres a crappy pic. They had just kicked up a bunch of sand in a circling and flaring competition

Fair enough. I think the wolf should be able to put him in check; then again, some fish are relentless. Look similar in size.
 
Anyone wanna bets the Jar will be a gonner if it bite the wolf first? LOL
Let the wolf settle and put the jar back in? lol it's a dead jar right there.

Depending on the wolf, this may not be the case. The wolf may just put the jar in its place. My wolf has been bit first by some of the fish it's with now, he gave them a good bite and they leave him alone, he chases them shortly sometimes, but he doesn't outright try to kill them. However if he got a particularly aggressive specimen, then yes I agree with you, letting it settle first was the wrong choice and should've tried to let the jar put him in his place.

The jar did bite first bites at his tail.wolf turns flares and snaps at him as if to say one more time and its gonna be a bite. Jar is just to dumb or to nasty to care
 
Plan on keeping the three together? I've had no luck keeping my curu with jags, it sucks as they're basically the only cichlids I like, he's killed any one I put with him to date, but in his defense, the size difference was a little drastic. Like 10" for the curu and 6" give or take for the jag
