My tank is as follows:
Filtration: Eheim Classic 350 external canister
TMC Signature Size: 600x450x450mm OR 60x45x45cm OR 23.6x17.7x17.7 inches (Just so everyones happy!)

I've read varying things so my question is is this tank suitable for a red wolf fish?

Thanks!
 
You just said two different sized tanks. But if it is the size you put in millimeters and centimeters your tank will be great for one. If it is the size you put in inches I'd say you need a longer tank. And I'm not sure on that filter. They can be messy at eating time. Might need more filtration. They top out around 8 inches give or take a little depending on genetics I'd say. And they are active.
 
It's one tank, it's the size in MM that I converted to CM and Inches (badly I take it haha). I had the same filter plus another smaller eheim when I had a Sanchezi in there, I've since taken the smaller one off. The 350 is actually oversized for the tank I think
 
Tank you mentioned is fine for it. That would be a solo fish. If you plan on tank mates then a larger tank maybe required. The filter is fine but watch parameters and will need 50% wc weekly when fully grown.

They're jumpers! I'd consider lowering the water level a few inches so he won't beat himself up too bad on the lid. Be careful with the lid, if there's a spot open, he will find it!
 
I think it's hit or miss. I've had reds for years now and none have been jumpers. I guess some times just not lucky enough.

The water level is already a few inches lower since they gave me the pre-drilled tank by accident so I can't fill it to the top. I plan to make the lid from perspex and maybe have some kind of magnet to hold it in place
