Sooo awesome, what is the activity level of these guys? I know most plecos are very shy and hide a lot, but just wondering.

just an additional comment...
make the 65 look better than the 40
might be hard though since your 40 looks quite good

he is awesome!! so glad..never planned on having him but love it!
ahha and im working on getting the 65 up to par with the 40..i need more logs and rocks to fill it in..its a work in progress.
That's a really cool looking fish. I am a big pleco fan. Great shots of him too. I really like his Pinocchio nose.
I love Farlowellas! I only remember seeing one once many years ago, I didn't know what it was at the time, but they labelled it "twig catfish" ...which I must say describes it better than "whiptail pleco" (which I have also heard people call it). It is in the Loricariidae family along with Otos, Panaques and other fish besides plecos though, so I guess that's why
The tangles of root driftwood look exactly like what the habitat calls for...good job!

Very cool! He looks nice & healthy, sometimes hard to tell with such a skinny fish. Gudgeon looks great too, nice tank.
BTW- these guys will spawn in tanks. Try and find a mste if you can.

^_^ yeah this guy was a present supreme to get with the tank i bought!
love him so much now.
and on the habitat...that was just lucky the tank was already set up like that for my tinanti^_^ who are also river fish so it worked out perfectly!
Thank you ^_^ i try very hard to offer my fish the healthiest environment i can ..witch to me is as close to nature as possible! it seems to work..and brings out the best in them. and i love my little girl gudgeon!! she is so amusing to watch interact with everyone..cant wait to find her a male.
