I'm gonna order some P-bass (3"-5") tommorrow for my 180. How many do you think would be a safe number? Theres also a 6" Marble Eye, a 15" pleco(Goes in the Koi Pond during Summer) and 2 Silver dollars.

Also, beside the price difference, what's the big difference between P-Bass as far as looks and behavior?


Thanks Scott

Temensis get too big....so you can rule them out. Otherwise its all up to you. The more $$ generally means the fancier the fish/markings. Id say no more than 3.

i have three 18"ish monos in a 180 and it seems just right, any more would be cramped in my opinion
