Well they came in today. I had Chris at the critter order me a pair of royal farlowellas. I think they are beautiful!! I hope they will spawn for me.

What is the difference in the royals and the ones you already have ?

And what is your set up going to be to induce them to spawn for you ?

[vladsbtch]

The royals do not have as long a nose as the reg ones. and they are lighter in color and different pattern also their fins are longer and they get bigger. here is a pic of the royal from the top

here is a top view of the regular one. you cannot tell from the pics but the royal is quite a bit lighter than the regular one. they are also a little bigger bodied. if that is a word. lol
Oh and to get them to spawn I have the tank set up with plenty of filteration, oxygenation and a current. They like to spawn in currents and seem to usually do so on the glass. Time will tell if they will spawn or not.

Will you have to remove them from the tank when they spawn or are they decent parents

They are like plecos. the female goes on about her business and the male takes care of the eggs and the fry.

Fish live both in salty and in fresh water bodies - from deep oceanic depressions to mountain streams. Fish play an important role in most aquatic ecosystems as part of the food chain. Many fish species are used by humans for food and therefore have important commercial value.
