This is my 330l tank, with a Fluval 407 filter. The fluval T300 heater is set at 24 degrees c. A wave maker and protein skimmer keep the water moving and 2 Fluval plant 3.0 LED light bars provide the lighting.

Edit: so far they seem to quite like each others company.

Hi everyone. I’ve been keeping tropical fish for about 10 years, but in no way consider myself an expert. This is my first time posting so please be gentle. I went to my LFS today to buy a Pearl gourami as a centre price for my 270l aquarium. My partner chose the fish she wanted and as the...
