The pearsei would be a good choice with polys and silver dollars. It would share a lot of the silver dollars diet and likely leave the poly's tilapia alone. They have a wonderful disposition for a large cichlid too. Its just their sheer size and waste output...I was thinking of getting a pearsei but i wanted two, and you guys said having two bioload will be crazy
Before i rehomed her to a friend. Had this scenario when I mixed my single cichlid pearsei with my polys and dats. Beautiful fish with lots of personalities.
I might still get one, but just need to get a canister first and run a canister and sump together for good filtration.
Pearsei was 14" and thick. They all get bbw status fast. Too much pooping, eating, and required too much attention. Wasn't in the mood to owning a cichlid at the time.
Im not a big fan, they look messy to me, lol
