Im considering starting a tank completely devoted to pims, ya know the small ones like 4 line pim and striped pims, like the ones they sell at petsmart. Im currently doin research on the web, mainly planet catfish. My concerns are what size tank would i need for say 10-15 of these guys . any pictures of your pims and of your setups you have them in would be great
 
Your tank looks great but I only saw 1 pic with a pim in it, how many do you have in the tank
 
I have three small ones (4 lined) in a 70.
They have a pecking order. Who eats first, who gets what cave.
So you would need a large footprint for a tank. Height would not be an issue. You would want something with many large caves.
 
i was thinking something like a 125 with multiple levels of caves something like 6ftx2ft
