Empire Gudgeons

[jeaninel]

Anyone else keep these guys? Picked up a couple of these last week. They are settling in nicely. They were completely colorless when I got them but are starting to color up now. Gorgeous little fish. I would love to see your pics and hear your experiences with this fish. Here's a few pics of mine.

Nice looking fish. I had a peacock for over a year and loved the personality of the fish. Reclusive fish but not shy at feeding time. They act similar to a dwarf cichled patrolling the bottom of the tank. Sadly I lost the fish and haven’t seen any available locally since.

Yeah they had the peacock gudgeons too. Also had the Purple Spotted gudgeons which I picked up 2 of those as well.

That male has beautiful colors.

They'll age like fine wine too from what I noticed. They always seem to look better the older they get.

Thought I'd post a little update on these guys.
