Variant / collection point of red hi fin wolf?

[lix.ma14]

Oh yeah I didn't have any lights going in the tank (I use a dim blue light to be easier on my bichirs eyes) so that greatly messes with pics and I have dark substrate so that probably effects it also, he may be a bit stressed Cuz he doesn't like the phone following him around the tank haha it took a few shots to get a clear not blurry one.

He does live with an ornate bichir, that may add to his stress and I just got a 75 ga that my bichir is going into and I may keep my wolf alone in a 30 if that's a good sized tank for him. I've had mixed answers to tank size for lone reds ranging from 30 is the minimum to 55 is the largest I've been recommended.

I was kind of excited about the purple thing but oh well, he is still an erynthius that I love, any tips to get him to cut down on jumping? He has everything (a nice dense plant he chills in that you can't even see him in, proper food, and all that. The only thing I can imagine is stressing him out would be that I was also playing music getting ready for work while trying to take his pic so the dub step could have been messing with him.

Nothing much you can change about the jumping thing. You can't alter a natural behaviour. The good thing is, I notice that older/bigger red wolves are usually lazier and laid back so they won't do so much jumping.

Yeah true, I'll still pad the bottoms of the lids of any tank I keep em in though, ever since mine busted his snout open whacking the lid

my baby red wolf (sold it) used to hit the side plastic of the tank very hard and it cause some serious cosmetic damage to the head. The LPs where I got it from put a styrofoam top as a cover. Thankfully all the damages healed 100%.

I use floating plants to keep my wolfs and channa from jumping. It's worked well so far.

For some reason my wolf is the only wolf I've seen that has the darker dots going all the way down his back to his fins and on his head

I have fake floating plants and mine still jumps, what kind are those? They look live to me, I haven't found a store selling live floating plants locally yet

Yes, it's a live plant; Water Sprite (Ceratopteris Thalictroides). I'm sure you can track down live plants from other members here, but either way, plastic plants should work just the same. I've had good luck using them to discourage jumpers, but all fish are different.
Good luck.

When he called me to say he had a sp. Peru he was pumped haha too bad it didn't end up being it. I got one from the same store that looks the same so I was too haha. (This is my cousin btw, the OP)
