Hello everyone,

I would like to setup my aquarium like it s in amazon but i dunno exactly where does my 2 common wolf fish come from .. so i dunno if i had to use brown water, or clean one rock or woods(or both) etc....
Where does the most part of common wolf fish come?
If u could help me^^

they come from MANY parts of south america.
so if you get one,ask your lfs or whatever where they came from.

and water conditions are different in many of those places.
so its best to find out where yours was imported from.
but theyll adapt to almost any water conditions.

Dude, quit challenging me. He asked where does the fish come from and I replied

Yes a south american species id use bogwood and plants, the bogwood will leach tannings and will make the water a little brown, which it will like

Where do I come from? It is better to say I come from the US than specifically ask exactily where I come from.

Yea, to the orginal poster, I am sorry for the derail. I am not posting here anymore.

No he means what river system in south america. It affects what PH range they live in and how it wll look.

Like I gave the the wrong answer on where the wolf fish came from because the Ph is different.

Wow, next time, I should say South America. That is where the wolf fish comes from and the Ph is different in the river systems so ask the LFS employe about where the fish came from because all LFS employees know everything about fish...And my answer is totally wrong on where the wolf fish comes from..

Anything else?

I learn something new everyday..
