Have decided to 100% what main species of fish I will have:

30 x Microdevario kubotai

30 x Boraras brigittae ( Mosquito Rasbora )

They are ordered by my local shop and will arrive end of next week, will start with Microdevario kubotai and wait a few days before the Mosquitos can join them.

This project seems to be jinxed, or just bad luck...

My local shop, which doesnt seem to know much about fish, bad I know lol :) managed to get totally wrong species in..
Instead of Microdevario kubotai, they got Boraras urophthalmoides!! :mad: They are pretty alike arent they? :wideyed:

They have reordered and I am suppose to get Microdevario kubotai tomorrow, touch wood.
Instead of Boraras brigittae, they got Boraras merah, which is a common mix up and more understandable..

Bought 2 pairs of absolutly lovely and stunning Honey gouramis (Trichogaster chuna)
Very alert, nice personalities and the dominant male does not like his photo to be taken.. :(

Looking good man keep it up. We will beat said Lfs dont you worry
 
Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 21/06/12]

What's the plant in the picture of your "hiding gourami" please?

On another note, I've got 4 honey gouramis in my tank and they're great fish, always using the full height of the tank, and a nice contrast against the diminuitive tetras!
