Wolf fish help

[Pewds]

Hey guys, my stocks have been plagued with Ich so I lost about 50-60% of my fishes. I'm thinking of quitting but when I heard something about a mini wolf fish (max size 8") and I was like " hey, why not give it a try?" I need your help guys, I don't know much about wolf fish, but what are their minimum requirements? I have a 75g tank with an 7.5" Cichla Kelberi and 11" Ornate bichir, are they compatible with wolf fish? I read that Erythrinus Sp. Peru (Purple wolf) maxes about 8", how many can I keep then? are they compatible with other wolves?

Thanks for the help guys.

I dont know much on wolves, but you could try red wolves, i believe they max out around 8". In a 75gal you could put two in there for sure - maybe more. Your ornate however will most likely end up as a chew toy for the wolves, and your cichla will eventually need to be rehomed, so that will free up some space for tankmates.

red wolf fish. That ornate or kel might eat it though.
