erythrinus sp.

Very similar to the Rainbow Wolf, found in the Amazon basin, the Orinoco Red Wolf is a smaller species of found in parts of the Orinoco River basin in Colombia and Venezeula. A fast moving and aggressive predatory fish, they are likely to attack even larger tankmates and are best kept alone or with large, fast moving fish or heavily armored catfish. Smaller specimens can be shy at first and appreciate plenty of cover, and be sure to keep their tanks tightly covered as they are prone to jump if spooked.
