Do I need to keep my Curupira alone? He is sole in the tank and acts like a dictator. Of nothingness, but a dictator, nonetheless.

Besides Golden Wolfs ( Hoplerythrinus ) can you keep wolves togetehr????
Well I've got my Curupira with Gold wolves and to be honest, I'm getting to the point where I'd say that most of them are more sociable with eachother than people give them credit. I've seen happy groups of Malabaricus and inters and I'd stick my neck out and say that even Curupira's could co-exist without too much stress if you grew them together from small enough, in the right environment. I mean, lets face it; they have to co-exist to an extent in order to breed so it's going to be possible with Aimara in the right conditions!

If you're refering to Curupira with other species... it can and does work. Both Jelly and I have Curupira and others with various predatory Characins and Cichlids- I have mine with Geophagus and yes, the smaller they are the more suceptible to attack they are but My Brasiliensis pair are fine, though I did loose one of my Altifrons recently- It jumped and having seen it happen before, i know it was because the Curupira was prowling and had forced the little fella into a corner. Squeezed through a tiny gap as well so it was determined to go for a walk..!

My Intermedius ( the one that died ) was perfect with a bunch of Aro's , Cichlas and Dats and with the Oscars at a later stage.

My Curupira is alone, is used to eat from prongs, which he strikes vigorously and has eaten 3 Chakas in one night.

I really would like to comm him, since I am waiting for an Aimara which I would like to put in his tank.

A 30 cms Aimara with a 25'ish Curupira, together, would be a recipe for disaster, would it not?

Stick my neck out and say it's a bad idea but Aimara is not something I've had first hand experience with. The Aimara will probably grow quicker to 16+" than the Curupira too so at best it will out-right dominate the Curupira and at worst, eat or kill it. Territory will also be a factor with two different species...

But you never know until you try!

I wouldn't be surprised if it could work with fish from the same source, say the Rio Orinocco? I was simply thinking that size and space would be, as always, the main factor. I Was also thinking back to Jelly's expereince with Lac/Inter and Curupira...

And in the future, there is the possibility that the Aimara will keep growing at a steady pace past 20" where the Curupira really slows down after 16-17". Inevitably, one will become bigger than the other.

Please do. I'd be very interested in how it works as i'd love an Aimara, I just can't run a tank bigger than say 400g at the moment- 340g was a challenge to install..!
