Description

Farlowella Catfish. The Farlowella Catfish, originates from the lakes and rivers of South America, and has a very long and slender body. They are an armored catfish with a brown and black coloration, and have an elongated nose. Like many of the other fish within the Loricariidae family, they have a sucker mouth, which aids them in feeding upon algae from the plants and decorations within the aquarium. They make a wonderful addition to any freshwater, peaceful community aquarium. Planted aquariums with high aeration and water movement make for a healthy environment. Rocks and driftwood help to accent a natural habitat and provide hiding spaces to reduce stress for the Farlowella Cat. A 50 gallon aquarium or larger is recommended for this species. Feeding the Farlowella Catfish is not difficult due to the fact.
