Ok, My ranchus are geting close to spawning, I have a 29 gallon tank with aHOB filter that only reaches about 1/3 the way down into the water, I know I will...
If constructed properly, the filters do, indeed work, but I don't see why you have wrapped them in nylon. The on thing I am worried about is your choice of...

Which book did you read that in (gouramis need company of their species)? By dwarf gourami, I take it to mean you have color varieties of _Colisa lalia_. That...
