I think a hystrix would be ok but I've never kept 1 so hopefully someone with more experience can chime in.

The only problem is that as far as I know they are very hard to get and quite pricey if you do find them these days

I have a tank almost identical to yours but mine is 24 tall. I kept my 3 marbles all under 12" and my 12" aparicio in it for 4-5 years and they had plenty of room and even bred in there. I am setting this tank back up and might put all 4 back in it.

I can't imagine Pearls having a hard time in that set up, but maybe I'm wrong.

Male true hystrix would be ok, i currently have one in a 220 ... female hystr8x would probably be ok too, although that's more debateable as they get larger than the males
