Im 99.999% sure it will not work but I have never owned a Wolf Fish so I thought id ask. Can a wolf coexist with an oscar, polypterous and a florida gar?

The oscar is pretty mellow and so are the rest but I know wolves can be pretty :WHOA:
 
Depends on the wolf. I had a 16" one that lived with similar sized polys, gar and some big aros no problem. I had another that was very aggressive.
 
From the experience i had with wolves, as long as the oscar and the other fishes don't bother the wolf they will be fine. My 3 inch convicts never bothered my 9 inch wolves and they got along fine. My 7 inch jaguar on the other hand ended up with scratches and cuts which thankfully healed over time.
 
the key is keeping them fed. i keep a 14in black with 12-20in polys and a couple large oscars and never have any problems. however i go through a 2.2lb bag of massivore a month as well as 2-3lbs of shrimp a month...
