Four chocolate gouramis (three in photo).
I decided against Apistos. With Sumatra wood and Indian almond leaves I figured some Asian fish would be better and appropriate for a 'true' biotope.
I know these guys are difficult, but I like a challenge.
I took 6 hours to acclimatise them, as the shop pH was almost 8, mine is around 6 (and dropping).
They all looked in a bad way in the shop. The manager agreed to give me four, FOC.
Water is pure RO, silver sand, leaf litter, wood, 29C/85F.
They are already feeding on dry foods.
Lots of floating plants on their way. Thanks Ed!
Full tank shots coming soon...
