Im looking to get one of these cool guys to throw in my 210g. I can only find 3" ones for sale I currently have 7 pbass( 1 5" orino, 6 2-3.5" Peru Monos) as well as a 4" long fin albino oscar and a 5" striped raphael cat. I am setting the 210 up with tahitian moon black sand and will be running 2 FX5s. Temp will be around 80 degrees and PH around 7.6ish. Will this guy be okay give me some feedback?
 
I find these guys to be rather hardy. When young like any other fish, they are fairly fragile to water param changes etc...

If acclimated well and no health issues (parasite free also) then there should be no problems with them.

As for tankmates, I find them to keep to themselvss and will only attack/eat tank mates if small enough.

I have a fairly big one I just put up for sale if your interested :D
 
if ya can get the larger one i would... at 3 inch i would be worried about some of his larger tankmates... but could always grow one up before putting him in there... the ph and water temp should be fine... i have tigs and my ph is 7.4 and temp is 80 and they are doing great and would think a jur would as well...
