    2- Three-spot Gourami (m&f)
    1- Golden Gourami (f)
    2- Danios (zebra and leopard - used to be 6 but they are a food source)
    1- Ropefish (15cm female)
    1- Peacock eel (sex?)
    1- Dwarf Gourami (m)
    2- Apple snails (both male i think)

    The 'phallic' bubble maker i made from pvc pipe and silicon. As with the horizontal white stoned half pipe, a home for my ropefish and eel. The other cave is just a clay pot.

    Upgrading to a 1.2m. Want to possibly get more gourami species, another ropefish, 2 african butterfly fish, possibly more danios (longfinned).

    My dream species to keep would be Nembwe's from the Zambezi, and a cloudy or leopard sqeaker, but alas, the blacklist.

    Ya i just cut the pipe off at an angle for one and in half for the other, then covered it with aquarium silicone, and put the rocks on one by one. It was a lot of fun doing it myself, and there is so much possibility with such a simple method. Next i'm thinking of doing a semi covered glass tube so I can better see my ropie feeding.
