patience my freind and you will get answers.I would say 8 mths tops give or take for the Pearsei depending on its personal growth rate. They get very large pretty quick and will need a tank atleast 18" wide with good filtration.
As for the Altifrons ,I will leave that for some one else to answer as I am not familiar with them.

I have a 220 Gallon Tank - 6' x 24" x 30" with a 1x-Pearsi, 4x-G.Alfies, 5x-G.Tapajos II, and a Chocolate. The Pearsi was about 6.00 for the Juvi and she is a strapping 9" a year and a half later, and the Alfies worked well, all the Geos do with the Pearsi. Hope that helps a little....

Altis go for between 5 and 25 quid.
