Long Nose Farlowella Twig Catfish

Elegant • Peaceful • Algae-Grazing Specialist

Bring home one of the most unique and beautifully camouflaged catfish in the hobby! The Long Nose Farlowella (Twig Catfish) is a peaceful, slender-bodied species loved for its striking appearance and excellent algae-grazing abilities.

These calm, gentle fish are perfect for planted aquariums, where they can perch on wood, stems, and leaves just like they would in the wild. Their natural brown, stick-like look makes them an amazing addition for aquascapes and display tanks.


Care & Behaviour

  • Temperament: Peaceful, solitary or in small groups

  • Diet: Algae, biofilm, sinking wafers, blanched veg

  • Tank Size: 80L+

  • Ideal Setup: Soft flow, driftwood, smooth surfaces, well-established tanks

These catfish thrive in mature, stable tanks with plenty of hiding spots and natural surfaces to graze on. They do best with gentle tankmates such as tetras, rasboras, peaceful gourami, and Corydoras.
