Thinking of ordering 5 Sunday if still available at tuic. Tank is 72x30x25(LxWXH) with 2 adult hoplarchus psittacus . Possibly adding a small group of geos at some point. Not finding a lot of info but it seems they get 6-7” and do well with other tank mates. Would you pull the trigger?

I think it should work out. They are a lot smaller and more mild than fasciatus. They should focus aggression on conspecifics vs other fish, and the 5 should spread it out well.
Just be sure to monitor for aggression and split up if necessary.
