I'd recommend a bigger tank, atleast a 75 I'd say and some dithers if you're trying to cohab the two even at this size. And a peacekeeper. Only JL has had multiple aimaras together, I think he had 5. It could be a situation where you need more than 3 for it to work. Be very wary. Maybe he can shed some light.

Well I'll say you should try both out in the community setting at the same time and see how it goes, maybe add a mala to the mix so one wolf doesn't get all the beating from another. Then if it doesn't work try each one separate and choose the better behaved one. What do you plan to have for tankmates?

As what Moe said.

Would add if you don't feel like adding more wolves, perhaps birchirs could work too.

Pleco should be fine. Although not my preference due to all the waste (poop) potentially will be made.
