I currently have a 75 gallon with an ornate bichir (7"+) and 2 bala sharks (5"+). I was wondering if i could add a red (high fin) wolf fish. I will upgrade in the future if needed and realise that there may be an aggression issue.
 
I got the wolf fish this morning. It seems pretty docile so far, but it's not eating anything. I'm going to try bloodworms but if that doesn't work I'm probably going to start treating it for parasites.

Why? Sometimes when you introduce fish to a new tank they won't eat for a couple days. Give him a few days, he'll eat.

Hes right they gotta get used to their new surroundings...he may not eat for a week, and also sometimes its better to jus feed them and leave the room, might be a lil skittish eating if you are sitting right their watching. But eventually he'll get used to u and associate u with dinner time and will get excited when u come around.
