Purple spot gudgeon, peacock gudgeons are much smaller and have different coloration.

[video=youtube;RfegZk9TCJU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfegZk9TCJU[/video] I had a breeding colony of purple spot gudgeons. Cool fish that ive always kept in groups easy to care for and breed.

thanks for the reply! this fish quickly became one of my favorites due to its appetite, its a very active hunter of guppies but it will also readily accept pellets! il buy more of this fish when i see them :)
