I downsized my tank collection after I moved and I now just have two 75s. One is a rift tank, the other I’m thinking about a red wolf, 1-3 hujeta and 3 smaller geos and a smaller catfish-maybe a dwarf giraffe
What do you guys think?
 
Think it’s be fine for the fish mentioned. You’ll have to keep the red wolf separate but itself with the other fish except the geos.

So you’re saying the hujeta, wolf and cat and skip the geos?
 
Red wolves seem to be very different from fish to fish; some seem very mellow and community-friendly with non-edible tankmates; others, like mine, are extremely aggressive and simply will not tolerate company. Does this relate to how they are raised as youngsters? I don't know; all I can say is that mine launches himself with murderous intent at fish bigger than himself while they float in glass containers in his tank. He was alone for the first couple months of his life, apparently accepted a single tankmate at that point, but a few days later the newbie (a catfish) had to be removed to save its life. A second attempt, with a much bigger fish, was aborted before it was even released. YMMV.

Thanks, I had a red wolf in a 40b with a large Rafael and that was fine. I had a gold in a 180 with hujeta, chalceus, RT cudas and some rainbow cichlids and that almost worked until the gold decided to try to eat the rainbows that were 3/4 his size. I had a mala that couldn’t have any mates. So I’m guessing there is no real answer huh? Lol
 
I’ve decided to skip the red wolf, going with a group of G. Sveni, Hujeta, and a BN and woodcat
Thanks for the replies
