Sophie's overcrowded breeding tank.

This tank is grossly overcrowded with growing dwarf gouramis, photo July 2007
Although these pictures are pretty fuzzy the emphasis lies in the fact that the tank is largely overstocked, consequently the inevitable result being many fatalities amongst the inhabitants. Although Sophie was doing 50% daily water changes and running three sponge filters, she realized the answer lay in another tank of larger dimensions.   Note the tank has living plants in it.
