This is my 30 gallon tank.

Since the female Blue Gourami bullies Angels and the male Blue Gourami, I separated them by a DIY mesh. When the two Blue Gouramis meet each other at the opposite sides of the mesh, they will try to fight.

It constantly changes its color.

Zebra Loach. It is very difficult to get good picture from him.

Serpae Tetras. They are fine with the queen Blue Gourami, so they live in the same quarter. But I never saw them eat anything.

I have an albino pleco. But it hates light too much so that I don't have chance to shot it. In daytime, it hides in the pagoda. At night, it comes out when lights are out. But when I turn the light on to shot a picture, it just swoops back to his pagoda.
 
Cool pics. Very clear. :good:

If it were me I'd look at maybe upgrading to two thirty gals or a 55 gallon split. Just so that the fish could have some more swimming, room. :)
 
i have no advice but that is a sweet tank...love what you  did
 
I don't have energy and space to hold another big tank. 
 
I hope they live a happy life.
 
If you're not open to getting another tank that's understandable..I'm actually shutting down a 30, 20, 10 and 3 gallon tank soon, because im going on vacation for a couple months

Nice set up! I like the fish colours you've got in there, they actually work really well together!

Finally I got a good shot of my albino pleco. He scares easily. I can only have a shot when I allured him out with algae disk.

Neat Pleco! His whiskers are impressive. How big is he?
 
Nice fish! That's a good looking tank you've got going!

My CAE did that too, there used to be a little castle in his tank, until one day he got stuck!

Bottom-dwellers have some of the most colorful personalities IMO.

It's about 10cm, I guess.
 
BTW, how large can this kind of pleco grow?
 
It is a brisltensoe Pleco. It looks male by the look of it, he will get maybe 5-6 inches when fully grown. Your tank will be fine for him. :)

Im sorry but thats just not going to be the case - you need to rehome the problem male gourami - the solution you have here is not good for any of the fish in there - particularly the aggressive male. Hes a fish with potential to grow to 5 inches in what looks like a foot square of tank - then you have 2 angels and an other gourami in about 2 foot by 1 foot which is again unacceptable.... The 30 gallon is right on the bare minimum for all of these big fish.
 
You also have Zebra loaches on pea gravel which again is not really a good idea :/
