Aren't wolves invasive in like cali? Ik there's a state. Don't think they're invasive but the thought is hey could be. But I'd agree they're not as adaptive to temps compared to channa.
wolf fish vs snakehead

To be honest I haven't the slightest idea. What I do know is that various Snakeheads are extremely successful as invasive species, likely more so than any wolf fish will ever be. It's perfectly possible for the Wolf fish to establish itself as an invasive species somewhere, but in order to do so, they would have to not only outcompete native species but also establish a viable population. Snakeheads have an easier time than most when it comes to this, because of their ferociousness, nesting/brooding behaviour, and high metabolism, among other things. Wolf fish are extremely solitary for the most part, and have a slower metabolism than many more active species, making it hard for Wolf fish to successfully outcompete other species. One big reason why the Asian Carp has become established in so many parts of the world, is their very high metabolism, which lets them outcompete native species, while making it necessary for the invasive Carp population to spread, firmly establishing itself over huge geographical distances.
In any case, my point is that there are more to predatory fish than big teeth and ferociousness.
