I don't see why not. If the tank was really small I'd worry about the Farlowella being outcompeted, but since it's a large tank, I'd say it's fine.

I kept 6 large sturisoma and 4 farlowella in a 6x2x2 with a few other L cats and had no problems, both spawned on a regular basis too.
Motorcycles are not an expensive hobby, try keeping L-cats in Australia
