I haven't gotten mine to eat anything but feeders yet. It'll eat a goldfish about half it's size, which is sweet.
They usually cost 20-30 as far as I know. I wouldn't keep anything smaller than them in the tank with them as they grow very fast and are very predatory.

hey man, i am either getting a wolf or a payara (or break down and get get an e-cat, but i want to try something new). i can see you have one. what are the diffs. all i care about tankmates is my parrot, but he's a fat 6-7 incher.
Also I have a 45 that just has a bunch of baby cons (they just started territory battles and breeding) its really cool. I love it when there are to pairs fighting side by side- male vs male, female vs female. But they are just as easily feeders

To the guy who says they grow fast.... That true? I haven't kept one long enough to see a growth change, but I have kept them, and I can tell you that they like nothing more than taking a big chunk out of a fish's belly, no matter what size it is ,so I would worry about your parrot. That's what mine liked to do anyways...
As for an E cat - I tried them, was bored with them after a week.

Yes do a search. To be honest it's not 'cool' to watch any fish eat feeders. You're running the risk of introducing both disease and parasites to your tank. Plus in nature any fish a wolf eats will have a gut loaded with beneficial nutrients. This is not true when feeding live fish in an aquarium. Imo, of course.
ok. Given the tank range of 45-55, what would work better; payara or wolf (they will both be small)
put in Erythrinus Erythrinus ( rainbow wolf ) or a Hoplerythrinus Unitaeniatus ( gold wolf ).. imo in that size tank you should only keep one ( possibly witha pleco )..
allthough rainbows are prettier, golds are more forward coming and, at the end of the day, all in all, better wolves, imo
