Show off your pearsei

[JasonsPlecosCichlids]

Nope, not a single issue, sadly the Argentea that was smaller, didn't care for them, so sold off the Argentea, then the Bocs wanted to breed and had no place for the Pearsi so traded the Pearsi off as there were 3 of them, then out of the blue the female Boc died, then the last Boc tormented the Albino Silver so sold it off. Have small tanks sucks

Yep, and having a pearsei really requires a big tank. They are just so tall bodied and thick fish.

They were in a 265, should have been in my 500 but it wouldn't fit down stairs and didn't want to part with them at the time.

All my fish get the tape measure if I have to catch/move them for any reason.

It would be good if you could weigh them as well,

Old thread revived, I love these ones. Though now I'm trying to figure how to talk the boss into another tank haha. She thinks 125 is the biggest we need...

I have a boss to answer to also. Been a few years in the hobby with progressively bigger jumps each time. With my used tanks I was able to get them at good prices and turn around and sell them for at least what I paid or more. When we decided to downsize to a small rambler we made a deal. I got the 300g but I had to cut own on the number of tanks. So down to my 300g and a 65B running and an empty 65B in the garage as a QT. I was up to four running tanks at the other house, a 210g, 75g, 40B and 20L. The compromise was worth it.

We've been discussing going down from 4 (125, 75, 50, 40b) to 2 (125 and something larger, like a 220.)
