Pretty nice tank!
Chocolate Gourami, Madagascar Lace plant...
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!

What conditions do the Chocolates like? I have never been able to keep them longer than a couple of months.

Hi Jane! I love these too, but I'm still in denial about the -holism. Your's look superb.

Hope you don't mind I pop a question here and don't need to start a new topic? I'm getting a new tank for mine and wonder how many is enough in a tank with bottom size 80x35cm, 126liters total? One of mine is missing the left pectoral fin and every time it tries to "stand" on the bottom it falls on it face, poor thing. Hopefully it will grow back.

Janne i would reckon on between 10 and 15 sids in that tank.
the largest ive seen were in chester zoo aquarium and measured 3 ins for the females.
the largest in the show tables around 2 ins SL.
