Could a Farlowella live in this tank? @NCaquatics? Anyone else?

125L/33 US gallons. It has three C. habrosus, eight C. pygmaeus, four Hypancistrus furunculus, two bamboo shrimp, and between one and four cherry shrimp. Filtration consists of Oase Filtosmart Thermo 200 and a Fluval U2. I've got lots of current generated by powerheads, because the plecos like that sort of thing. Temp is 26C, PH 6.6, and water is soft.
 
Yeah a Farlowella should fit fine, provided your nitrates already are low.
Just be sure there's vertical thin stands of driftwood for one to have their own space so the other plecos don't feel threatened by its presence.

When picking out a farlow, pick one with a good belly, not sunken in, avoid any hanging at the filter inactive.
 
Cool. They're not common in LFS, so finding one might be a faff. The shop near me that gets weird and wonderful obscure species of fish might be able to get their hands on them.
