nah, can't see them properly at the moment, the viewing window is blocked up coz it was leaking, long very stressful story. But once the new extension has been done then it should be possible to take some photos. Im trying to make it dimly lit and look like an actual piece of the amazon (despite the asian gouramis), so the fish won't photo all that well. Too dark for no flash, to much reflection for a flash.

Should be ok,ive kept them with lots of different fish,so long as they wont fit in its mouth-but i doubt your gourami would.
