i hate being the bearer of bad news.. you`ll be ok as you are for a little while yet,, so get stuck in and do some reading

Thanks for quick reply! I am glad you like it :]

I did read up on Plecs & Clowns that they need bigish tank, but i also did read and do know few people that keep them in smaller tanks and they seem happy and healthy 5+ years now. My ones are quite small at the moment, so they should be fine for couple year, then we will see.

That plant on the right i bought from my LFS, they had huge selection of that type, small, medium, big. Its been in my tank for about 4 months now.

nice tank but id be wary of the tiger barbs with those angels could end up with nipping issues

Yeah, as soon as i introduced Angels, Barbs went for it hehe, lasted about an hour and then they just fedup i gues. Been 2 weeks now and havent seen any nipping and no visible damage on any of angels.
In fact, Angels started bossing everyone up :]

Nope no festivums in my tank... i strugling to find it on the net and cant seem to get good pic of them, cos they hide behind that wood. Got to go back to my LFS to get the name.

Be very careful with the 2 Dwarf Gouramis 8 out of 10 Gouramis are infected with a virus where there scales start to peel off. unfortunately there is no cure for this. you might want to google that up just to read about it. check this out http/edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa035

Yup the far right plant is a non aquatic.

Unfortunatly I'll be the third to say this.

LFS sell non-aquatic plants all the time, sometimes because they don't know any better (it's rare to find a plant expert at an lfs) and also often because lot's of customers don't care.

Completely disagree with the clown loaches though. I also know loads of people who say their clown loaches and plecs are happy, but the reality is they end up stunted and usually die unexpectedly after several years. It severely shortens the life span of a fish that can live for. "Happy" and "healthy" are two different things, and unfortunately it's hard for even very experienced people to tell. Not a huge deal though, just plan on a bigger tank in ~12 months time, or rehome them as soon as possible.

Also, good luck with the dwarf gouramis, it's a shame LFS suppliers still sell diseased stock to them. Hope your one of the lucky ones with healthy gouramis.

Otherwise, very nice tank though, nice big bit of bogwood there.

Regarding gouramis, what simptoms should i look for? those 5 gouramis were the first fish in my tank and its been around 4 months, is that still too early to see any infection simptoms?
The plant you talking about is that the one with small "palm tree" looking leaves right in front of the filter?

plecs and loaches must go theres no way hey can stay more than a few months in my opinion without causing some sort of damage to the fish that may not be visible to you or us.
