hey all,
thought you might be interesed in hearing this,
the other day i walked into my lfs to by some brine shrimp for my newly hatched neons,(thats right, it wasnt easy!) i decided to have a stroll around in there becouse mum had to go to safeways and grab some veggies, i walked in to the live fish part and there was a fish i had never seen before, it was labled Wolf Fish - 40 Dollars, i waved jackie (the chick that works in there) over and asked what the hell it was, she said that they had never had them in before and that all she could tell me was that it was Very very aggresive, 'highly' preditory and that they are so aggresive toward one another that the only way to breed them is by means of artificil insemination. it looked like the colour of mud and was armored, with rows of razor sharp piranah style teeth, it was almost eel like.

she asked if i had some time, as it was almost time to feed it. i said yer i had some time, so she droped a couple of those rosy barb feeder fish in there and it come out of its cave and ripped one of the poor things apart, there was guts and stuff every where and it swam around slowly and ate all the guts, and the head and stuff.

I was the most bizzare fish i have ever seen,
has anyone ever seen or kept one of these monsters?
