My 3ft, 20 gal tropical aquarium. This is my first attempt at a planted tank, it is filtered by 2 internals, and I use pressurised co2. Lighting is 2 39w T5 Hi glo lights.
It is home to 2 x m. trifasciata; 2x female m. boesmani; 4 x m.praecox. 1 Bristlenose; 2 Black Skirt Tetras; 1x White Skirt Tetra; 8 rummy nose tetras, Amano & Rainbow Shrimps, and various snails.
I'm not 100% certain on the rainbowfish ID, they were labelled as boesmani in the shop but at least 2 of them were mislabelled, so if anyone can confirm their ID I would be very grateful.
Anyone know how to breed dwarf gouramis???

@13donnie I saw that this was posted a couple year ago so how is your tank doing. I just started with a 10 gallon planted aquarium with some christmas moss and japanese moss balls. Thanks....any tips please let me know

Looks like you got money, i would say you should try discus planted. Great fish king of freshwater, go well with tetras and rainbows also planted tanks make them happy

Hi, looks like you definately have Dwarf or Neon Blue Rainbowfish (Praecox rainbow), and along with the
Boesemans Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia bosemani) you might possibly have a young banded Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia trifasciata)....but I didnt really get a good look.
Nice setup though :-)
