Hikari wafer is ok. It will not dirty the water so much. If you want to play safe can also remove them. Next time, can just snap a tablet into 2 and pop 1 in.Originally Posted by Star-flog
Brought one big package of Hikari Algae that costs me S$9.50.Originally Posted by akoh
Even I just put one Algae wafer. The 2 little juvenile can never finish. Should I just leave it in the tank or remove it after 1 - 2 hours? Is this true that this fish will only active/eat at night?

what i usually do feed them on alternate days.. before i go to sleep, i break the algae wafers into half or quarter ( trial and error to see the amount they are able; to consume) and throw into the tank... try not to over feed it or leave teh food too long inside. as u have two juveniles a quarter iece will more mor ethan sufficient. their tummy size is also very small anywayOriginally Posted by Star-flog
I agree, they do know seems to eat much. would panamense also eat wood that I placed in the tank?Originally Posted by jja

Started to get serious on this fish.
Would Sturisoma panamense (regal whiptail) suitable for the planted tank? I plan to set-up a 2ft cube tank for this Pleco, with some mosses, and some shrimps and driftwoods. Any suggestion?
When the tank is ready, would buy more panamense from akoh......

Hi everyone knows whether Sturisoma panamense (regal whiptail) and can live together with Farlowella acus (as photo below)? Are they sharing the same kind of food, living space etc..

Hi star-flog ! go easy on the feeding ! reckon a qtr pc should be more than enough !. Both Panamensa and Acus are very peaceful twigs hence they'll do fine in the same tank !.
They are ok in planted tank BUT you have to go easy planting !
Stocks are running low ! if you want them you better give mine a thinker !

Do you know any LFS selling Farlowella acuas? Now preparing 2ft Cube tank for 2 regal whiptail (from you) and if add-in 2 acuas in the same tank will be perfect!Originally Posted by akoh
One member mentioned that it's okay to have 1 male and 2 females twigs but not 2 males and 2 females, they will fight for the females, haha..

As quoted from the www.planetcatfish.com
This fish is highly endangered and could easily become extinct in the next twenty years. Although numerous aquarium books show photos labelled as Farlowella acus they are most likely all incorrect. It is very doubtful that this fish has ever been exported for the aquarium trade.
...highly endangered species and to be extinct in next 20 years?

Most hobbists mistaken Vittata ( longer snout ) as Acuas ( shorter snout ). I sometime get confuse too !

Therefore, I can imagine no one should have this fish if it is to be so rare?Originally Posted by akoh

OK, so it has to be on its own tank instead of community tank, right? Remembered you said the different btw male and female is the tail. The male one goes up and female goes down?Originally Posted by akoh

Star-flog ! you can easily tell them apart by the " chew chew " on its gill cover ! the male has the " chew chew " but the female is " botak or clean shaven " ! no " chew chew " . The tail thingy is more for L046 zebra !
Bro jja ! last evening while servicing my cannister filter, I found 2pcs of > 1.5" Royal Twig fries in it ! man ! god knows how they survive in it ! btw how your babies coming along ! better check your filter system and cover the inlet .

Of course, your is big and adult size can tell. My is still my small and can not tell whether they've "chew chew" or not? It seems the regal whiptail growing fast.. the broken tail already grew back and nice...Originally Posted by akoh
