Farowella questions

Post by paramedic07 »

Wondering about farowellas in general.................. I'm almost tempted to pick one up for my community tank.

Any experience, etc?

I love Farlowellas, have three right now. They like to eat the algae off of plant leaves without damaging them. Need algae wafers as a staple. Really peaceful cat. Can usually be picked up without much fuss, not that one should pick one up often.

Exotic has them right now.

Picked up my farowella from WUW about two weeks ago around 5/23/09. She is doing great in the planted discus tank. Probly will pick up the possible male thats there myself too.

The farowella at WUW i think is farowella gracilis.
