Very informative thank you, and what would be considered a decent price for a 1-2 inch specimen? Also, I try to avoid live foods considering there nothing but diseaseIt's large enough for a solo fish. Will eat prepared foods and will tolerate fish not big enough to eat. So tankmates are possible but need a bigger tank and no live feeders. Feed them every other day and will be fine. Can do daily till about 5 inches. With a 29 gallon tank and high amounts of waste will need to watch ur water parameters. Will get about 8 inches of kept long enough. Considered lazy logs till food comes along.
spot on, they get lazy when they get bigger and fatter. Makes me wonder if we over feed them and they become obese or something lolIt's large enough for a solo fish.

Definitely, meals aren't always available or easy to catchI think they are fed more than in the wild for sure.
I would say about $30 for a 1-2 inch fish is about right.Very informative thank you, and what would be considered a decent price for a 1-2 inch specimen? Also, I try to avoid live foods considering there nothing but disease
I have upgraded from 30 to 55 for my red wolf. He looks way more happier, since his playground more wide. As for tankmates, i'm still waiting for a month or two. About laziness, i agree. He only patroling the tank in the night or when the feeding time. And yes, he's fat!I'm in the process of upgrading a 7 in red wolf from his old 29 into a new 55. I would say that a 29 or 30 gallon might be fine for life, but a 40 breeder or 55 is ideal. Mine takes anything I feed him, just stay away from feeder fish, but live alternatives such as earthworms and mealworms are A ok. As far as tankmates go, plecos and striped Raphael cats are great choices, don't use fish that are smaller than the wolf though. I had trouble finding smaller red wolves for sale, and I bought mine from exotic fish shop at four inches for 49.99 USD. It was the best price I could find for them since they are quite rare. Definitely a worthy investment though, as they are such a personable and derpy fish!
