Description
Sturisomatichthys panamense is a species of whiptail or twig catfish, sometimes known as the Royal Farlowella. These easy-going catish fit well into laid back community tanks and do not require too much space despite their large size (Up to around 8"!) - a 30 gallon aquarium should suffice. Like most plecos, a diet of both vegetable matter and meaty foods is appreciated.
These are adults around 5" long.
