Can they inhabit the same tank. Malabaricus Wolffish is 8 inches and the sun cat is 10 inches, also would it get along with a polypterus endlicheri.

Sun catfish and Wolffish?

what size tank are they going in? I've no experience with wolves but from what I know its up in the air with their temperament towards tank mates. I'd say you'll have a tougher time being that both animals will inhabit the bottom of the tank.
They can. I have my sun cat, and endli with a hoplias curupira. My curu leaves all bichirs alone for whatever reason, but with the sun cat he throws his weight around for sure and bully's him. But doesn't pester the cat. Wolves can have varying temperaments so you have to see how your specific wolf acts. I'd say do it now while the cat is larger. As far as the endli goes, make sure it isn't edible, some wolves have been known to snack on bichirs of the same size.
Mostly the wolf will leave the endli alone. Most large fish do except plecos. The catfish is the problem as its a silvery fish even at 10 inches. Like moe said it'll vary. Mainly once the wolf gets larger.
That's a nice sized sun cat!
Don't feed live fish.

It's a gamble, especially if a bichir fits (somewhat) in the mouth of either.
Comming predators always is. It's a trial and error for most of us. The bigger the tank though, the better the chances it can work out. 55 gal seems tight.
