However they will still add tannins to your water making it brown.

1 or 2 Red scats
1 Feather fin Catfish
1 Salmon tail Catfish
Scats & Salmon cats prefer high pH and a little salt added to the tank. PB's dont.
Let the PB's grow a little before putting other fish in with them, they stress easy when they are young and can get whitespot quick!
In my experience with them (Not much) they don't like the chemicals used to cure W/S and go down hill REAL quick.
Make sure they are fed small amounts many times in the day, I have seen PB's eat each other if they don't get enough food or they just get too skinny and you can't bring them back into shape.
They are a high energy fish, so they need a good quality food. Don't skimp when its comes to PB's they are a premium fish so they should be fed premium food's and looked after real well, fantastic filtration etc. They aren't a fly by night fish IMO.
Good luck with them, they are a sensational fish when cared for properly and become real pets when they are adults. The 2 that work had a few years back were awesome fish especially the female, like a puppy on steroids
If you want to see some really nice set ups, check out Den's threads from a little while back. Some REAL nice set ups for PB's.

maye i suggest you do alot of googling if you intend to keep the PB alive, because ph is a pretty big thing and so is nitrates and lots more.
i suggest you pick "dens" or "peckoitas" (spelling of names.. sorry) brain.
good luck with them.
