Yes mate very surprising I know. The carpet plant in my current set up took off like it was on massive co2 addiction its slowed down now.
Also look at toms bucket of mud that shows just how vibrant and lush low techs can get. Tom's Bucket O' Mud - new vid page 28 | Page 27 | UK Aquatic Plant Society

Now you need to breed those Licorice :D after that I'm crowning you "Gourami King". Typing this and thinking about the possibilities is making me even more hyper to see this up coming tank.

Id love them to breed I really would. That would be phenomenal. They have shown beautiful breeding behaviour recently with males flashing off to females with almost purple like fins so hoping conditions will be good for those too.

You should start charging the public to come into your house and look at the tank. You could sell chocolate gourami related merchandise!:woot:

Haha, you'll just have to settle for selling off 3 tonnes of plant clippings every week...;) That canvas looks really great, you should try your own!

that's not a fish tank...that's a kiddy pool...
I wonder how you are going to do your water changes....:cyclops:

Literally will be a kiddie pool when its test filled as little one is going paddling in it :)

Water changes will be really simple, just a length of hose pipe sucked on to cause a syphon into the garden then either top back up with buckets as two ten percents is only ten full buckets a time as my buckets 15 litres. Keeps me fit and stops the tds rising too much through treating a full tank volume with prime if I filled back up from the hose so happier fish and shrimp.

Thanks mate. 5 buckets filling only takes me just over ten minutes so 20 or 30 tops ;)
