Re: How to get Farlowellas in the mood ;)

Hi, I tried nearly for years to get the fry from my Farlowellas and my Sturisomathichtys to an adult status and I think, I am on the right way now.

Hi,
I gave them HikariAlgaeWafers which I think is one of the best food for Catfish in my opinion.

I had them in 3 separate tanks, but decided to move them all into one. They seem very territorially aggressive towards one another, which according to the Cat-eLog is to be expected.
