One honey gourami to test, more to follow

Stunning.

The photo shows a gold gourami not a honey gourami. it's one of the colour morphs of three spot gourami, one of the more aggressive species of gourami. if it was sold as a honey gourami, if it was me I'd take it back and exchange it for an actual honey gourami. Honeys are smaller and a lot more peaceful.

Thanks I had no idea

I agree with Essjay its a Gold Gourami which is a bigger more aggressive species - Honeys are a lovely fish by comparison so if you can swap them... I would.

Your scape and plants look really good! Just on the Java Fern in the middle the brown patches are brown algae and should rub off quite easily if you do it gently with your thumb and finger - if you leave it on the leaves will die off.

Love the rock setup and plants! What size of a tank is it?

It's so stunning and beautiful!! Maybe some java moss on the front rocks and a few clumps of dwarf hairgrass in the front and it would really tie it in. It is so beautiful now though!!!

I don't know how I missed that bright orange fish right in the middle

Cleaned the ferns, much better!

15 gallons

You need a picture on the back of the tank to help the fish feel more relaxed.

If you plan on keeping gouramis, add some floating plants like Water Sprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides/ cornuta) to provide them with surface cover. The floating plants will also reduce the brown algae on the plants below.

Remove most of the rocks so you can see all around the tank and spot dead fish easier.

You could probably reduce the amount of sand at the front half of the tank. Use the rocks or wood to create a wall that holds the sand up at the back and then have less at the front.

Apart from that it looks good.
