Flamboyant, elegant, and fascinating; these words can be attributed to the highly unique and peaceful catfish species— the Royal Farlowella (Sturisoma panamense), otherwise known as Royal Whiptail Catfish or Royal Whiptail Farlowella.

This fish is quite common in the hobby, and it is prized for its striking appearance— a slender elongated body, impressive fins, and beautiful coloration.  

Royal Farlowella is hardy and ideal for community tanks[1] housing a variety of surface-dwelling fishes. This fish is mostly herbivorous and would enjoy munching on algae, biofilm[2] (aufwuchs), and vegetables in substantial amounts.
