Subbed Brooks. Sounds like its going to be a killer tank. You should get a farlowella for this bad boy when the time comes! Im loving mine.

Albino or brown and is it wild caught or tank raised? I've heard they are hard to keep fed. I'd like to start a tank for farlowella or whip tails undecided on which yet.

Sorry for the hijack. I'm very interested in lower tech planted tanks. I have no aquascaping skills and just throw stuff in the tank. What kind of wood is the new driftwood?

I developed a deep respect for lower tech tanks in the last year or so. Changed up my high light tank to a low light and im loving it

It is a wild caught (Almost all are unless you go straight through a breeder) Farlowella Vittata. So far mine is eating Zucchini, picking at algae wafers and grazing on wood around the tank. He still looks fat and happy like when I got him from my LFS so fingers crossed. Ill be posting a few updates in my thread about him and Ill be documenting things that do and don't work. Not a whole ton on these guys on the web
Yeah, Low light tanks are starting to draw me more. My high tech 55 can be a pain sometimes but Im still enjoying it. As soon as it is not fun anymore to mess with a high tech tank anymore I will switch to low tech and lower the BML to 40-50% and get me a nice assortment of crypts, mosses, buces, Java ferns, etc.

I have noticed there's not a lot of info out there. I have a connection to a breeder and my connection has had farlowella and whip tails. Need to set up another tank if I'm going to get one. I will definitely be following along for updates.

Yes, don't worry though, gbr will have a 30 all to them selves. The bolivians seem to be a lot more forgiving than gbr..

Ive been lookin at them for a long time. Ive come across these so called "ruby" bolivian rams a few times. Theyre pretty, but cant find much info on what the difference between them n reg bolivians are.

I remember you mentioning them to me before.
I did not find a lot either......
Maybe I could allow a 'special Bolivian ram' or a real EBR like Poppa got!
