Tom, only now I had time to see your marvellous film. With this tank you succeeded to realize one thing that many peope try but fail: to create a somehow natural milieu with wood, plants, shrimps and different fish that harmonize with each other: it’s a fine community, very subtle elected, not (as usual) dominated by many or large fish, but remaining a big secret, a secret window in an alien world. Congratulations, this is aquaristics at it’s best!
Normally, a friend of the licorice gouramis will keep them in smaller tanks, often without many plants, for the aim is to breed them. But if one was successfull in that, often there are quite a lot of young, and only a part of them can be given away. Then you have enough fish to think of such a decorative and contantly surprising masterpiece of an aquarium, and you can view the licorice gouramis from quite different an angle: just as the secret viewer of their life in nature (or at least something rather near to that).
We would be very glad to see more of your fine work!
