Wolffish Care?

[PRW1988]

Hey all, I picked up a little wolffish today. I know a bit about them, but not too much, I've read that they grow to 20" and love live food. That's about all I know. I'd like to get some extra info on peoples personal experiences.

The wolffish I bought is about 3", it was sold to me as a red wolffish. I looked up online and found it's called a red highfinned wolffish and I've read it's called a rainbow wolffish. It has a 40gallon to itself and will for a while.

For a rainbow wolffish/red/hi fin (Erythrinus erythrinus) 40 gallons will be fine for life, they normally reach around 8". Its the common wolffish (and other types) that grow larger. They are one of the more active wolffishes and I have seen them in set ups with tankmates, but it can be hit and miss so I'd advise caution.
