Peacock gudgeons.

Peacock gudgeons.

Nice, how are they doing today?

If you do end up with a M/F pair be careful. Males can be a bit pushy, almost agressive, towards females at times. Even in a community tank I lost 2 girls to my dominant male.

They have been out of the plants a lot more. The two of them are always exploring together, and the male doesn't seem to show any aggression at all - in fact, he seems to have been bullied by the other males at the fish store.

What do you plan on feeding the peacock gudgeons?

 

[SpaceFish42]

They either didn't notice or didn't care about flake food, so I gave them bloodworms instead and they loved them. I'm also planning on starting a little brine shrimp hatchery.

Here are some low-quality pictures...

Showing nice color! I never had issues with feeding, find them to be just as piggy as the green neons and forktails.

Hmm... I'll see if they accept flake food once they get settled in, when they are closer to the surface.

It seems like the female might be gravid! Sorry that there are no pictures of her yet. Do peacock gudgeons need caves to spawn, or will they spawn without them?

I believe they like caves!

seemed like Matt had it down but haven't heard from him lately?
Phil(Gillie) is still active with his thread.

 

[SpaceFish42]

Thanks! I know they like caves, but I'm just not sure I can find something in time if she's gravid now.

Here's a good picture of the male. I was trying to get a picture of the female, but he just swam right in front of the camera.

Am I posting too many pics of them?

Nope, fish pics are great

I've seen spawning behavior with mine but only had eggs when I had some pvc pieces in the tank.

 

[TMRC Exotics]

Never too many pics.

Never too many pics.

I'm glad no one else thinks it's too many. I've been annoying my mom a lot lately because her phone has a much better camera than mine. ?

 

[TMRC Exotics]

Lol, my phones camera storage currently has around 2300 pics, easily 1000 are tank and fish pics

Space - We like pics at AA. Brings the posts to life.
At any given moment my camera roll will be 95% aquarium related, 4% family/pets/home repair and 1% UFOs, Big Foot, Loch Ness Monster, and selfies.

1% UFOs, Big Foot, Loch Ness Monster

Am I the only one that wants to see more of that?

I was just looking through my camera roll, and EVERYTHING is aquarium related except for one picture of a random tree and one of my cat.

Edit: Actually, I'm pretty sure I took a picture of that tree because I thought it would look nice in one of my tanks.
