I don't know if the SH will put up a fight with an Aimara. An aimara is an aggressive ass fish and will be guranteed to bite first. As stated before, a mala or anything else will probably not have a chance. Put a big red with an aimara, now that should be the question to focus on. SH vs. Wolf is too broad. I LOVE SNAKEHEADS, BUT!!!!! I AlSO LOVE THE AIMARA. And the Aimara ain't your average wolf that sits like a rock. If you stick your hand in the tank, be prepared to lose it, and I'm pretty sure that's the same with the red. But the Aimara just looks like a tank. What do you guys think.
