L191 Royal Farlowella

Royal Farlowellas are primarily herbivorous and feed on algae, biofilm, and plant matter. Supplement their diet with high-quality algae wafers, blanched zucchini, spinach, and cucumber several times weekly. They are nocturnal feeders, so provide food in the evening or at night for best results.

These catfish are nocturnal and spend most of the day resting on driftwood or plants, becoming more active during evening hours. They are peaceful bottom-dwellers that rarely interact with other fish, preferring to graze on algae and biofilm. They are solitary by nature but can coexist peacefully with other non-aggressive species.

Breeding in captivity is extremely difficult and rarely documented in home aquariums. They require very specific water conditions, mature driftwood for spawning sites, and pristine water quality. Success requires patience, ideal parameters, and often a dedicated breeding setup.
