Wolf fish (Anarichas lupus)

| 7/15/2011


Anarichas lupus (Wolf fish) are energetic diggers, and the
bottom of the aquarium should be rocky with mixed size rubble and
gravel. Keep their constant digging in mind when you decorate the
aquarium. The aquarium should be covered, since Wolf fish have big
heads and elongated bodies which make it possible for them to jump up
and fall out of the water.



Food: Anarichas lupus (Wolf fish) eat crabs, mollusks,
sea urchins, lobsters and small invertebrates such as brine shrimp,
mysids and worms. They also like echinoderms and and algae. In
capitivity they will happily gulp down even flakes and pellets. All
food must be in small sizes, since Wolf fish don't chew.
