A group of up to say 15 individuals would do well together in your tank.They are OK in a 5ft 100g tankStanzzzz7 ? How many do you think I could keep in there, and would I keep them in a harem or multiple males is OK?
Multiple males are not normally a problem in a large group,ideally though you want the females to outnumber the males.
In a large group,aggression is not normally an issue.
Thanks for the info. I'm going to keep my eye out for some variant of thorichthys
Even meeki are fun in a group. Also look at maculipinnis, aureus, mixteco and one of my favorites pasionis.
Pasionis are on the larger side at 7". I have some growing out.
The Cribroheros group, like Thorichthys is another of the central American earth eaters (formerly Astatherines) have a number of species that do well in groups (shoalers) and do well in hard water and a 100gallon. Cribroheros rostratum below
I kept mine in heavily planted tanks with a lot of current
and one that cichlidfish mentioned above Theraps lentiginosim would do well in such a tank.

Thorichthys are quite slow growing.
As you are used to rivulatus growth rates you may not think so.
Wet spot is as good a vendor as there is, I would not hesitate to order from them again. I can't say enough good things about them.

X2 on this. Very peaceful eartheater cichlids. They do best in groups. I regret buying single specimens opposed to a group. They also work well with thorichthys IME. In fact I am in the process of turning my 150g into a NA/CA eartheater tank. Sand is very important when keeping these species. They spend all day sifting.
