Made the mistake of going to the LFS again today. Every one I go in at the moment seems to have something I've been after for ages. Today it was a wolf fish (hoplias malabaricus). Had to set up the four footer I had empty in the garage quick smart when I got home. Will get some more furnishings tomorrow.

BTW, i think it's worth it.:D

hope your not too attached to your fingers......ill look em up in the morning 4 u sounds like u know ur already takin on a challenge but we shall see what i can dig up =)

:laugh:

Yeah, the guy was brickin it when he had to catch her at the LFS. She was flaring big time at the syphon hose when he was filling the bag. I have divider ready for when I need to put my hands in.

I've heard of those wolf fish being called pure evil :P

But seriously, I've read that they will try to kill anything in their tank, so lets hope that info was wrong :D

good thing its by itself. it looks like its got blood on its lip. EVIL. :blink:

whoa, thats a cool pickup cichlas, i like how you said you rushed home to set up a 4fter that was in your garage lol, I wish i had a spare one :(

Reminds me of my Red Devil... darn thing killed everything in the tank... the longest thing survived was my sucker fish =.= that's only because she couldn't find it xD

Wow, that looks like one tempermental fish!!!!!

How big will it get or is that full grown??

wolf fish, grey wolf fish, aka finger taker

A super predator that is renouned for its aggrsession, favoring to rip chunks form its prey as opposed to the normal predator method of swalling victims whole....

sounds like your gonna have fun =)

dont worry im still skimming through my issues of practical fish keeping, they did an article on it a bit back

Various sources give its length from 18" to 24". A bit of growing yet :)

Yup :clap:

A finger taker eh? Well...that ends my interest in owning one...I like my fingers and a need my fingers *thumb more then anything...*... :laugh:

Nice fish :D

Very nice pickup B)

I can see that we have the same taste in fish.

I wonder if we got any of these in Aus...

Anyways. Nice pick up mate. :woo:

if that grows to 24" then its as big as my two tanks all ive got is 2 2 footers

24" wow thats a big fish. Its that small now and it eats goldfish...if its an adult what does it eat? Koi?

anything it bloody well wants, it will tear chunks off its victime just to make it a managable size lol

That about sums it up :laugh:

such a strange lookig fish hehe
