Update
Ok, here's an update with some shots. Water chemistry is as follows:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 10ppm
Phosphate - 3ppm
GH - 4
KH - 3
pH - 6.7 (regulated by the SMS122)
There is some floating leaves and I am not sure where they are coming from. Most folks, I would imagine, don't take pictures and post them with crap floating in their tank, but objectivity is the name of this experiment here. I remove about 10 leaves per day, not all from the same plant, but mostly the bright red one there in the center and the microswords, but those are the two I see the fish playing in the most, so I am assuming they are breaking them off. Thoughts?
The gouramis (blue) are building a bubble nest too! I am stoked. I have never had fish breed before in all the years I have been doing this. I usually don't have four gouramis at the same time either, so I always figured I had bad luck and had two males or two females in the past. Too cool. Bubble nest is located on the back left.
Everything is healthy and looks good to me, but feedback is requested. There are some leaves with tears on them, but I have seen this in almost every picture of plants. I think my kissing gouramis are hungry during the day or something.
Cleaned a little bit of brown algae off the glass and a very small amount of green spot algae it seems. That was yesterday. I went a bought three oto's to help in that department.
Thoughts are welcomed. Thanks.
