My Black Wolf

Nope. There has been an increase in the amount of ID sharks around Singapore recently, some being sold in feeder packets. I bought 2 sharks to try it out and it seems like they do enjoy it.
Perfect finnage! Rare to see that in wolves. Stomach full of bullfrogs. Chomping on one currently in second pic.
he is now about 13.5” in length. Really slowed down in growth once he reached 12” in length. Hope he grows up to be one of the larger black wolves on mfk. I wonder who has the largest currently, I know it used to be harleyk?
Small update although I wouldn’t say it is a good one. Recently the past 2 weeks he stopped eating. Water parameters have been fine ( ammonia, nitrite, pH, nitrate although slight higher at 40ppm, been this way), and ALL the other tankmates have been eating. In fact, the other tankmates appetites have increased.
Not sure what the issue has been, given the fact I have much more sensitive fish in the aquarium all doing well. Makes me think he has gone on a hunger strike at the moment.

Finally reached the 14” mark! Only grown about 1-1.5” in the span of an entire year. His/ her growth has slowed down by a lot. Gulfs down 3-4 large prawns each feeding though. Cant believe I’ve had wolfie here for 2.5 years (probably around 3 years old now) and still can’t identify its gender 
Still at 14”. Don’t think she will grow any larger anymore, maybe about an inch in the next year. Average black wolf fish grow about 15-18” in captivity anyways, happy with her progress so far!
Update time 
I think she has reached 3+ years old, Slowly Becoming a mature fish. Size has not changed. Goes on hunger strikes once every month or two, and starting to eat less, but still eats a substantial amount to keep herself going. Unless of course it’s her favourite food, live bullfrogs, where she will gorge herself.
Unfortunately, as with most of not all wolf fish as they grow older, most the their fins become tattered overtime. As you can see, the dorsal fin is no longer perfect as compared to my previous posts and I don’t think it will grow back. Regardless, I still love her very much.
