No Wolf fish should be kept with any other tank mate. The Red Wolf is less aggressive than others, but still very aggressive. I had to put mine in its own tank after it bit up my Oscar, Pacu, and two Knife's. Very cool fish, but just not something you should get if your going to put it with any other fish.

I disagree, if your realistic about the tankmates Red wovles will do fine. Mine has been with tank mates for over a year with no issues other then occasionally chasing the bichir.
 
lol, mine took a large bite out of my Bichir. Tried to put the two of them in a tank together.. didn't work out so well.... What other tankmates do you have with your Wolf fish?

EDIT: Just saw your video of you Red Wolf fish. I don't get how he gets along with them so well. Is it becuase the older and larger they get the less aggressive they become? Mines only about 5 inches (Maybe 4) and is just way to aggressive to be with any thing I put it with. Fights fish that are 5 times his size. Then again, no fish would mess with a Raphael, but I don't see why he doesn't eat the Bichirs. It can go with fish like that, but large cichlids and others is still a risk. Still shouldn't have tankmates.

What size tank is yours in? Mine is still real aggressive, it's the only fish I have that has bit me (on several occasions). Although, unless he sees the fish as food or is just in a bad mood he leaves them alone. I didn't intoduce tankmates to him until he was 5" so dunno if it's a juvi thing or not. He's now about 8.25" though, I guess he just knows he's King.
 
this is a very intertesting topic. i saw a wolffish on you tube he was kept with two ariapma, pbass, rtc, tsn and many more. but not sure right now if i want to add tankmate with the wolffish it will be and expensive feeder for them

He is currently in a 10-Gallon until he gets a little larger, then he will be upgraded to a larger tank. (Look for a 55-Gallon+ right now with some luck).
