Bookmarked. I'm going to look into getting one for one of my future tanks.

I have one like that. I have a farlowella. He reminds me of a dragon fly when he swims. He's great. Really laid back, lets me pick him up.

Do they give off much waste?

They are very neat fish.

Hmmmm not so I have noticed and Stick is about 6". He is an algae eater so I imagine he probably produces a fair bit of waste.

They're very good in munching off algae!

they need a pretty good sized tank and can get mean when breeding.
