Twig Catfish Farlowella - 9cm (Farlowella sp.) (Live Fish)

Twig Catfish (Farlowella sp.) are fascinating South American suckermouth catfish admired for their extremely slender, twig-like bodies, elongated snouts, and remarkable natural camouflage. Their peaceful nature and gentle algae-grazing behaviour make them an unusual and attractive addition to mature planted aquariums.

They thrive in mature, well-maintained aquariums with clean, well-oxygenated water, gentle to moderate flow, plenty of driftwood, plants, and sheltered resting areas. They are sensitive to poor water quality and can struggle to compete for food, so regular feeding and stable aquarium conditions are particularly important.

Species, size, colour, markings, and appearance may vary.

✓ Remarkable twig-like body and camouflage
✓ Peaceful South American bottom-dweller
✓ Natural algae and biofilm grazer
✓ Ideal for mature planted aquariums
