Red Wolf Fish vs Red Belly

[Galasca]

Alright guys so I have a cycled 29 gallon aquarium all set up and I narrowed it down to these two fish. Which one do you guys prefer, and why?

TBH 1 RBP , have a Purple Wolf but don't no much about the Red Wolf.

Red wolf....atleast you can add tankmates eventually. But will need atleast a 55g to add tankmates.

Plus red bellies do better in shoals and 29 g is too small for a shoal.

I chose the RBP due the inactivity of 1, but I absolutely agree RBP should be kept in shoals.

Sp. peru is said to be less outgoing by owners who have kept both ery. ery. and ery. sp peru. But it really comes down to the specimen.

Will the ery. ery. bite my hand?

Depends on specimen. And how comfortable and aggressive he/she becomes. One guy had one that would bit his hand when it was in the tank. He had pictures.

Yes

Red wolf would do better on its own. I think RBP wouldn't like being all alone. Rhoms would be good by themselves but they get fairly big
