q's about a red wolf fish or common wolf fish

[airben23]

ok now im not new to keeping fish but im pissed about not being able to get ahold of snakeheads because i live in iowa... so i was wondering if i could keep a single wolf fish in a 20 gal tank. as for bioload i have a 40 gallon tank sized filter on it.. plz answer

I think the minimum for even a red wolf is 55 gallon.

i just got a orange highfin. is that the same as a red wolf? the tank would be ok for a while til he gets big. he is rely active and started chasing fish 2 minutes after i put him in. i dont think its only iowa who cant get snakeheads, i gave up lookin

 

[airben23]

will it be enough to hold it for 5 years or so because my local pet shop pays for any fish.(no its not petsmart petco). but someone said they grow to 8 inches so i didnt know. if i cant just tell me

 

[vamptrev]

i heard they get around 12'' so i think it would be to small. get a bigger tank

No, they get around 8". Red hi-fin is the same as orange hi-fin. They're cool little wolves.

 

[airben23]

will someone plz tell me the average size of the red hi fin wolf fish because i want something predatory as hell but if this donsent work out id like a phago loravatus

 

[KRSwop1]

8" is what they usually max out at.

 

[airben23]

thanks so im probally going to get one ...if it gets to big illl get a 35 gallon tank! does this sound ok??? or would the phago loricatus be a better bet??
