If you knew were you derailing the topic on purpose?

Anyway, I remember Armatus used to be portrayed as total beast until they're more availble in the hobby to know indeed they can be housed with other fish without butching them.

Maybe until the day when Aimara is common in the hobby then we'll know for sure if one must wear armor gloves to change water or commingle them with other fish.
 
wolf fish are chumpsssssss.. never had an aimera tho.. If my brandtii was 4 feet he would eat dogs and cats and birds and legs and fingers.. lol hes 8 inches and hits the glass like train.. as for full grown i would have to give it to dorados... much quicker then wolves.. ive seen a small dorado and a small malabaricus go at it and the wolf got his **** handed to him...

hmmm i've never seen pic of an aimara with any tank mates or heard of them that lasted more then a day but you have a point theres not very few of them in the hobby so theres little pics and personal experience of them

They do have a serious rep like you said alot of storys about them like piranhas from the locals , but there are confirmed acounts of locals being attcked by aimara when swimming or wadeing in a large ones territory all requiring stitches
 
I know i've read an article on a man how got his ancle bitten by one but i can't find it i'll keep lookin

Not haveing any luck mabye some one else will have better luck

I would beg to differ on this, it boils down to the individual fish of course but most wolves I have seen are not chumps. And your more territorial cichlids may seem to pester them a little but come the next morning you have a full-bellied wolf, and shredded bodies of tankmates. I wouldn't base my belief of the wolves on a skirmish between a small wolf and dorado, but def. would on larger specimens. Either way not saying your story is false, just stating my opinion. A wolf has the equipment to dispatch a dorado EASILY.....;)
