will probobly be aggresive to some of the tankmates but my old odoe used to be decent with them.
they get like 2 feet+ so a big aquarium like at LEAST a 180.
they eat a SHI* load so be ready for food for him.
they love feeders but my old one used to take market shrimp, im sure u can get them on alot of other foods

The average life span is about 5-6yrs (I'm sure there is longer)
They eat pretty good and take most meaty foods
Their temper is hard if you have silver fish. For some reason they like to attack silver fish (goliath, vittatus, silver dollar etc...)
Don't under estimate their mouth cause it can open pretty big. I would keep it with thick fish and that get close to or bigger than 2ft
Can't think of much more right now, If I do I will post it up
 
2ft??? if ya got a pick I'd luv to see it...

it is true about silver fish though. when my wolf is light it goes at it but if it's dark no probs unless the wolf swims up into it's space.

very quick fish so hopefully the other fish you get will eat pellets or someone will have scratches from going at the food at the same time. never seen one eat pellets yet, only frozen or fresh.

Well the biggest I seen was about 13" but I'm sure there are bigger than that (just dont quote me on that).

About the color of fish it does not like, in most cases it is true (for an Odoe) and I say "most" cause it depends on the individual character of the fish.

Tell me about it, I put another Pike in with him the other day, same size and everything. I had to seperate them because mine was locking on to him and ripping off his scales.. took the other fish back real quick.. Now I just have a shovel nose cat fish with him.
 
and about the 2ft thing, I was just at the LFS by my house and they have one in there close to 2ft. maybe 1 1/2 selling him for $249.00
 
I thought they avg'd about 12"? I'd love to find one, but in my neck of the woods thats next to impossible.
