stunning in a subtle way.
have you thought of adding some rosy loaches, they are such a pale rosy red, they would look lovely against the rasboras and gourami
 
Went into London today to buy some Sundadanio axelrodi,and they also had some Sphaerichthys osphromenoides.
So got eight :).They also had some Sphaerichthys vaillanti a month ago :(.

They also had Parosphromenus nagyi,but quite expensive.

Thus is exactly what I have been thinking of doing. My Xmas project is materialising before my eyes. Love these fish.
 
Live daphnia and tubifex.Frozen cyclops.
Tried live glass worm and brine shrimp,also frozen daphnia,and they're not really interested :(.
 
Hi all,
Live daphnia and tubifex.
They really like Grindal worms, but they won't follow them to the bottom of the tank. Mine will pick spring-tails and green-fly from the water surface, but vestigial winged fruit-flies were too big, they may be all right now the fish is bigger, but I don't have a culture any-more. Black-worms really get him excited, and will slurped like spaghetti, but if they wriggle too vigorously they can slip away into the depths.

I've still got one (of the two) I "rescued" from a LFS a couple of years ago.

I just felt really sorry for them, they were in poor condition and I knew it was a pointless transaction, but they amazingly recovered. Because they weren't a planned purchase I didn't really have any where to put them, other than in together in a 30 litre tank. I think mine were both males and I soon found out that two males and a small tank isn't a good combination with any Gourami.

cheers Darrel
 
Which shop did you get the Chocolates from Nelson? Was it Wholesale Tropicals? I bought 8 from there a month back as well, doing really well on both freeze dried Daphnia & Brine Shrimp, and frozen mosquito larvae and brine shrimp. I also have a few Rosy loaches in the tank with them that were with the previous occupants, so no problem in pH 6-7 water I found.
 
Yes,Wholesale Tropicals.They had about 20.
My PH is between 6-7.Want to get it to 6,but struggling.
I'll have to try some of what you're feeding ;).
 
Lost about 2/3rds of my Buce :(.Probably a mixture of low light,blackwater and low flow.
So rescaped.
