A Mala would be ok. What are the actual dimensions of the aqurium. The secret to keeping wolves active is to not over feed. Keep them slightly hungry and they will be much more active as they think you are going to feed them.

yup,you could also try the gold wolf.
hoplerythrinus unitaenus (spelling?)

 

[jp80911]

isn't prognatus a variant of mala? probably microlepis too?

probably,is probably.
but for now,they are described as separate species,at least malabaricus and microlepis.

yea I looked into the gold wolf, but I kind of like the shape of hoplias better.

I'll see if I can find anything about prognatus

 

[jp80911]

so prognatus has a blue/greenish tint on the side of the back and gill plates?
they get to the same size as mala?

prognatus have short bodies with massive heads they grow too like 13'' g told me also the gold wolf will outgrow that and they stay active, also the golds get 18'' a piece and they shoal rumor has it
