Thanks  J R they are Pearl gouramis, i would absolutely recommend them  ;)
Regards

I picked up a couple a few days ago. I really like them. Went back today to get some more but they were sold out.
They are still a bit timid but hopefully that won't last for long.

The 59 gln as of today, the tank is really rebounding nicely.
Really nice looking.

When stuff gets overgrown do you pull them out or do you cut back somehow?

Thanks Hookup

Yes thinning out via pulling out or trimming is necessary.\

The pictures never do justice, the first time I saw your tanks I was blown away and immediately went out and bought a Co2 system. Unfortunately, I wasn't prepared for the weekly upkeep and then ironically sold the CO2 to you. I remember thinking as I was cutting the grass in my tank, "I just finished cutting my lawn and here I am mowing my tank"  ::)

See them in person if you have the chance.

I was walking down the street and a man was hammering on a roof top and he called me a Paranoid Little Weirdo. . . in morse code.

Finally got around to taking a picture of my 20 Gallon long which i totally re worked a few days ago , now to wait for the HC to hopefully grow in.
