Help, my friend just gave me a Malabaricus.

As I had said, my birthday, my friend bought me a 4 inches Hoplias Malabaricus, but IDK where to put them in. Can they be with a 4 inches male dovii temporarily? I can put them in the pond, but I heard they're notorious jumpers, I'm afraid they might jump out and die.

Jumping out may not be the only problem the wolfish can easily eat or kill the dovii.

Yeah, agreed. They said it's either hit or miss when it comes to Malabaricus, but I've seen them done, probably comes down to individual personality of that fish. We'll see.

4 inch Mala can cause serious damage to wolf cichlid of smaller size. Just on a side note. 300 gallon and only wolf cichlid in it means by the time it reaches bigger size. This will be it's territory and nothing else will survive.

Don't worry, when the time comes, boom, goes into the pond.

Generally speaking, what kind of wolffish is the easiest to keep with other fishes? In my country, I've only seen Malabaricus, Lacerdae, Curupira, Aimara and Erythrinus.

Curu aka black wolf fish and Aimara are two too problem makers but it rest are same and but easier to keep.

Ok, if the rest are killers, then those 2 are serial killers, got it.
