Ill be at the fall auction in October so I can just bring you some if you would like!I'd bring you a good amount to get started as it can be a slow grower even in optimal conditions.
I might be starting a build thread for that soon for some suggestions for new stocking and such.
The Farlowella has landed. She's acclimating right now. She's a nice specimen, about 4 inches so about another 2-3 inches of growth left in her. You can tell the genders apart by examining the rostrum (the pointy nose) carefully and males have small bristles that are absent in females. I may pick up a male in a few months and try my hand at spawning them. Also, can I get a brand name on a good epoxy to use as I really don't want to mess this up. Too much at stake!
Substrate:
1''-1 1/2'' Ocean Forest organic powerhouse mix with Red Mexican clay for iron source.
Its working awesome! Im loving the clarity of the surface. Really impressed. A quality piece of equipment. Das German engineering.
Yeah, sounds like they were ill. It happens. Ill no doubt look for another one in the future.
Im in boulder once every now and then and the last time I stopped there to look I was impressed by their selection. Ill have to check in with them again next time Im up there. Its about an hour drive from littleton. Ill defiantly not give up on farlowellas and will give them a try again if I can find some really healthy looking specimens.
