I got my 4ft tank second hand, and it's hopelessly scratched
Nothing to with me guv, honest!
Yep, she sure does look like Farlowella vittata, and the two rows of belly plates help aim indentification in that direction. By the way, females have a longer, thinner "snout", that of course never develops whiskers. Snouts of males are shorter, stubbier, and when in breeding condition, get the whiskers. Judging by your photo, you have a female

Thank you for the identification... that is so helpful! I had a suspicion it was female, but it's just "one of my feelings", nothing I could rationalise.
How wonderful it is to see those eggs!!! And so obliging of them to lay on the glass where you can see and take pictures!
I'm looking forward to seeing the progress!
