If kept with other fish, keep them well fed. My old curupira attempted to eat a bichir of about the same length when I missed a feeding.
What's your experience with a wolf fish?

Thx I guess I'll see what will happen if my 3 inch Texas cichlid gets put with the 6 inch wolf fish. I may try a larger Oscar one day. There are always folks giving them away for free.
Ha not surprised. Mine already seemed beyond pissed when I starved it for one day.
What do you do if your out of town and forced to miss multiple feedings?
I just lost a wolf fish before this one who somehow jumped between the filter and lid. This is my 2nd one and hoping it stays contained. I covered all openings.
I have 2 Mala both have different attitudes one sits in its pot all day till it' feeding time the other is more active and meaner. It even took a swipe at my tigerfish
Damn. This is the main reason I sold my wolf years ago. My buddy’s wolf swallowed a GATF. The wolf was 8” and the GATF 7”.
I had one years ago as one of my first fish and at that time my tank did not have a proper lid on it....at some during the night a mouse climbed up and fell into the tank.Well..that was the end of Mickey as the next morning his tail was sticking out of the wolf's mouth.
Well after that incident I moved that wolf with fish that we're larger than him and I didn't have to worry about it again. If that's not an option, use a divider. I raised that curupira from 3-16" with other fish and only had the one incident. I had another wolf, a large mean mala, that I also kept in a community. But I put that one in with fish that were to fast for him to catch....a brycon melanopterus and a Dorado.
