Clockwork-crow Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Planning on getting 3 sparkling gourami soon, and ideally will breed them, wondering if anyone had any feedback on this aquascape for them. I also have corydoras and CPD's so I wanted some open space but also a dense well shadowed part, but if anyone has any suggestions for making the sparklers more comfortable I'd love to hear them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Looks like a lovely home! If you've never followed Foo the Flowerhorn, he's got a long sequence of videos where he goes from month 1 through 33 months featuring a tank with no ferts, no filter, no CO2 5 gal tank stocked with a couple sparkling gourami that have babies: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a gourami paradise to me! You might want to add even more zones in the corners if you intend on keeping some of the offspring. They might be shy for awhile around the CPDs, but all the plant cover should help with that. Excited to see how it works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I really like foos style of tank and I'm trying to emulate that on one side, but I've noticed that with corydoras they are way more entertaining if there is a wide open space for foraging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork-crow Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 @Kirstenthank you! I have some dwarf sag and anubias nana petite arriving in the mail, which is going to go towards the back of the tank to provide extra cover, also the left corner is lacking on account of the sponge filter that was way bigger than I expected, I might try surrounding it with elodea though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 @Clockwork-crow Looks perfect to me. The more vegetation the better for sparkling gouramis. Here is a video I shot recently of mine spawning in the dense hornwort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
