I honestly couldn't care less about keeping them at the moment; this question is about how they breathe. When they cling to the glass, how do they make a suction and breathe, or do they breathe through another organ?

The suctiom mouth is just a little bit raised where the barbels are, and that's where water is taken in. By breathing quickly, they get take in water and stay attatched to the wall, rock, etc. that they're on.

I've got royal farlowellas that breed regularly in both the 300 and the 120 with the juruparis. The male glomps onto the side glass and covers the eggs with his body. You can see him moving water over the eggs simply by working his gills. It's very cool. Pic enclosed -- shows two of the F1 males guarding their spawns.
