I just got a Farlowella in the last month and he/she is great at getting rid of algae. I have had him in with my kribs when they don't have babies with no problems. I also had success with him in with my Obliqs, yellow labs, orange zebras.
I'm wondering if he/she/whatever will be okay in my larger tank with combined ramphs and socolofi ? There is rockwork, but more like blockwork that serves to house the larger fish and not so much something he can blend in with. It can be a pretty rough tank (mostly due to the socolofi!). I worry also that the ramphs could decide to just snatch him up and eat him if he looks like food.
He's the best tank cleaner I've ever had so I don't want to lose him. My tanks look like new when he's done and he gets everything, tank corners, heaters, rocks, even gravel it seems.
Also, would he be safe in a nursery tank with that may contain mosquito size fry? He has an algae eater type mouth and seems to be constantly adhered to something and very mellow. I can pick him up and move him from tank to tank without a net.
