i am going to do a fishless cycle.
heres what i want to stock in my 80g:
2 wolf fish (3")
1 tiger oscar (4" or 5")
1 marble sailfin pleco (4" or 5")

i was hoping the wolf fish would leave the oscar and pleco alone since they are bigger.... can anyone tell me whether the wolf fish will kill them or not? also, am i overstocking? i will do weekly water changes or more if you guys tell me too.
thanks.

Read this:

Wolf fish species profile (http://www.aquariumboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=880)

Yes, the wolf fish will tear the pleco and oscar apart, and probably move onto each other.

That tank would be stocked with just the oscar in there.

And, here's an article about the big fish:

Great article link, df. I think IT should be made a sticky available to all here, so maybe some will read it and have more thought into getting one of the "big kids"!! Good job. :thm:
