Some questions about purple spotted gudgeon

[Kaosu]

ok so,,,i have done some reading on these guys.
i might be getting two given to me in two weeks

What i have:
a 40 gallon tall.
500 gallon turn over per hour,
planted, logs and some rocks.

The tank is a bit cold, it stays around 67-73o...
I have 1 6 inch Prickly sculpin that eats anything less then half her size..she is almost full sized, and 2 other sculpin just past the 3 inch mark

the purple spotted gudgeon are currently 4 inches
( i dunno where to post this thread)


does any one have experience with these guys?..do you think two would be ok in my setup?

here is the tank


here is a pic of one of the two ill be getting

Yeah. Mine grew from 2" to 6" in about two months. They're cute and greedy. Easy fish and very beautiful in the sunlight.

 

[Kaosu]

you think two of them and my sculpin would get along? in a 40 gallon

 

[knifegill]

No idea! Sorry.

Gudgeons have an unfortunate shape that's very easy for big predators to get into their mouths. I absolutely would not trust a six-inch prickly with them.

The temperature of the tank is not a problem. My gudgeons have been in an unheated tank all year that went down into the low 60s, possibly upper 50s with no problems whatsoever.

Your tank and the 3-inch sculpin would be fine for the gudgeons, but you're going to have to choose between your big sculpin and the gudgeons.
