regarding H.microlepis wolf fish

[bignootch]

Can someone please inform me on the max size and general aggresion level of a hoplais microlepis wolf fish can attain?... thnx in advance!

i had one, the scales are small thus they called micro. aggressive not so much but are a predatory fish none the less. I found it to be a docile bottom fish. temp seemed to be that of a regular common wolf. rare in the hobby though..

They can be chill at most times but very aggressive when feeding. I'm pretty sure they can get a tad bigger than 12"

Thanx guys! i have one possible female, at the 6"-7" range, eating only live for now, earthworms & md. goldfish. Is very active at feeding time. Was listed in fish shop as a goby, but i knew better than that, i've owned a few H.malas' before, and these two wolves looked a little different. I even checked the lower mandible, gill & throat area, and it's like the H.curupira & H.lacerdae wolf sp. She's currently in a holding tank in the garage. i'll take a pic and post it...

Dude! If you haven't kept one, don't speculate, please!

Please post pix. Would be an awesome score if it turns out to be a blackwolf sp.!

I'm taking opinions from people who owned these first-hand so don't tell me not to give somebody proper information when it is needed. It's not your place to tell me this if you don't have any information at all

You're taking "opinion" from people who owned these first hand? Opinion is not information! If you really want to get proper information, you need to stop your speculation, and start taking note from braveheartCalif! Information was already given. No need for your second-hand, speculation "information." "Proper information..." Please! Don't kid yourself!
