Interesting about the eyes.

Be very wary of the gourami - I've tried to keep them with a dGH of 7.8, without much success...

If you look at a small group of minnows and a small group of one of the rainbows you'd be surprised how full the tank will look. ;) I'm always reluctant to suggest a "centrepiece fish" for any tank under 3'. Tha anchors are fine if you make sure they get enough food and the tank is cycled....

I wouldn't try keeping honeys or loaches in your hard water, I can't keep them long-term in 8dGH. Also the minnows will want it much cooler than gourami and loaches. I presume you mean cherry shimp and not cherry barbs, loaches will probably have a go at shrimp as well as snails. Sorry...I would loo...

(This is why your water hardness is important - to cut down on possible problems) As the tank is only 2' long I would suggest that rummies are too active for anything ...

Are the caves blocked at one end? I can't work out why they're laying outside if they are, although mine lay in the flowerpot which has the large entrance and the small hole at the "bottom" (which is obviously at the back due to how the pot is situated ;) ). I don't know how many goes they...

That looks pretty good to me....
