hey just wanted some experianced pearsei owners to help a little. A lot of the info I have read on pearsei say they get to 17". If this is the case I wonder if 5 will be to many in my 180, I'm also looking for some thorichthys aureus to keep with them as tankmates... probably a pair of them. I do not have the 180 set up right now... but that's only a month or so away. I do have the 5 pearsei with the largest being about 8" and the smallest around 5". These guys are currently in a 125 with a few other tank mates. So what do you think? 5 too many or should that be cool? I have never kept these before and I can see they like to grow. I have had these guys for about 4 or 5 months now and of course they are all growing at diffrent rates... oh and figure before anyone asks I plan of running a ehiem 2180, and using sand as a substrate. Puting a few large rocks here and ther through out the tank... and setting up an area where several large to medium rocks produce a refuge for the thorichthys if they need to get away from the pearsei.... let me know please, and thanks in advance.
180 gallon pearsei and aureus

Ok so it sounds like that what I'm gonna do that's 2 that say it should be cool and 0 that say no and with that many views if there was someone who thought it wouldent work someone would have chimed in.
fish_n_vw,
Hey been awhile since I saw you post here. I have been looking for some Pearsei myself; where did you find yours? Consider selling any?

I had them orderd at a place for pets in burien... and nope sorry I'm keeping mine. Your welcome to stop by and see them when I get the 180 up though....
Dmd... just got off the phone with kevin at a place for pets he has some in right now... 2 and a half inchers at 9.99... go grab emm.
Thanks! I will have to go check them out!
I will probably wait a little bit on the new fish... That is until my 210g is set up!
I am almost finished with the stand, and I need to go under the house and reinforce the floor before I set it up. My new Jack Dempsey I introduced a little while ago is a little monster and has killed two fish already that were his size. I need to try for a bit larger Pearsei or wait until I get the big tank set up.
