wolf in 75g

[jp80911]

how long can I keep a mala in 75g? getting one at around 6" or so.
thanks

i think along time beause wolf fish arent very active and i think the malas only get 18inch ( correct me if im wrong )

caribemob is keeping 6 in a 100gal and then upgrading to a 180

cuz i read that they can get to like 20" plus, just want to be sure from someone who had experience on them.
75g is only 18" wide vs. 180g 24" wide.

yea iv never had one just read about them

his 100 a growout for some 4-6in guys

think that a 6inch wolf could stay in a 18inch wide tank for awhile but all that realy matters is the growth rate of them i think that he would be able to stay in that tank till around 12inch
so lets say around 8-10 months ? depending on growth rate

8-10 month, that's it? damn, that's fast....
wish there are more well documented information on wolffish here. it's very hard to find all the information here...maybe I just need to know what to search for

 

[ryeguy28]

yea i think just around .5 to .75 in per month is going to be its growth rate
my freind has a normal wolf fish ( idk what type its just grayish)
he got it in janurary at 3 inch and its aroung 8inch now he is in a 75



remember im not your best source for info lol i wouldnt hold my breath on anything i say

 

[jp80911]

most fish grow fast to certain size then slow down a lot, hopefully I could get at least few year out of in the 75g. anyone else can shin some light on this?
