Farlowella acus help, please

Post by Harry94 »

Hi,

I'm thinking about purchasing a pair of cucumber every week. The other cats they'd be in with are , and . pH ranges between 5 and 6, temp around 25oc. Would they be OK in this environment with this feeding? If not, how would I have to adjust it for them?

Thanks,
Harry

There looks to be a bit of editing problems in your post...

My main concern with this mix is that all Farlowella species are rather docile and peaceful species, which will perhaps get in trouble with the more rambunctious Panaque and Hemiancistrus species. Corys shouldn't be a problem.
