Years ago I remember my cousin getting a "Dormatator Goby" (not sure on speling)
in retrospect it looked more like a fat wolf fish.

Anyone ever heard of or kept one of these Gobies???????

Dormitator maculatus, there are a number of similar species.

they don't have the sheer tooth size of a wolf fish according to various ppl who have kept both, but otherwise essentially they are very similar to wolffish in behavior and general aquarium care; they behave like dead logs 95% of the time.

they are not remotely similar. Fat and ugly with beady little eyes.

I got one and put it with my wolf and oscars. The oscars beat the **** out of it constantly, so I put it with my much smaller snakehead. My snakehead beat the **** out of it, so I swapped it for a peacock bass.
