Puzzling Tank Behavior

Peter Finke: I was under the impression that the Paro book was only in German? I just searched on amazon.com and can’t find it.

Why is it bad to have a couple C. wendtii growing in there? I know you know better than me, but I would like to know.

Could you critique my setup? I just redid the tank. I have
-Peat covered with sand
-Tons of leaf litter, both oak and indian almond leaf
-light shines through the back(clamp lamp), so I can’t cover it. However, it’s really dark and blocked in a lot of places. Plants can’t grow except almost next to it.
-Lots of java moss(and some algae, which I let grow)

Still have the crypts for now. I was under the impression that many remaining licorice gouramis come from ditches, and crypts flourish in peat-bog environments, so why are they bad?

Deepin peat- I actually generally use organic gardening soil which I research beforehand. Even ADA has basically admitted its soil is basically the same as doing this. For more on this, see Tom Barr and Diane Walstad.
