I recently purchased a red wolffish from WorldWide,very active ,moves around almost constantly unlike the common wolf Ibought years ago which could almost be mistaken for driftwood.Does anyone keep them?I welcome any tips or advice.
 
One of my favorite fish.....always try to get one when i come thru shark aquarium(if available). Not too mcuh of a picky eater. As long as you keep it with nothing smaller than itself and not anything that gets bigger than a foot otherwise it'll get eaten. Should post some pics let us appreciate them too. Nice purchase. i'm sure others here can say more.
 
try to get him off live food. i had one that was very aggressive and always tried to bite his tankmates. other then that, great fish!
 
I will post pix soon although they all look the same.I wonder if they keep up their activity level as adults as mine is a real explorer.Vamptrev,what do you suggest for live food alternatives,he is housed with a redtail barracuda,altus barracuda,and a lithadoras catfish.

shrimp, smelt, krill, silversides, and whatever else u can think of. they will most likely try diff foods with no problems. we need some pics...

here's my old one. very smart, he dove under the divider to try to eat the guys on the other side:ROFL:

i just saw a baby for sale and wan't it sooooooooooooooooooooooo bad but i don't have a tank for one yet also i've been looking for a gold wolf fish but i don't know if i'll find one i may have to settle for the little rainbow still a great fish but i've heard golds are more active
 
golds are like a pet rock .but the red are nice in color & personality
i had one that would eat from my hands .i even had 5" reds that would kill
a 3" mouse only thing the mouse was 2big to eat.but the biggest i seen them was mine at 8"
