The elusive male peacock gudgeon!! (not monster)

Im guessing they must be a very seasonal fish, coz its the same over here in Hong Kong, only really see them mid summer months...

they always seem to have females around here..but never males its strange...kinda like the paradise fish i guess always have males, females are hard to come by.

Good looking little fish.I see them around from time to time.What will you do with the snails in a few weeks?

most of them will be sold or used as feeders, to make room for my next batch ..they were mutts a male ivory had his way with my female purples..gotta clean the genetics ^_^

yeah that would be my best guess, From what i have read they breed pretty easily ,..same with the paradise fish ..those are worse than cons!!

but anyway im glad i got him...he and his lovely girl are working on getting fat before we try any love making ..^_^ also getting the tank set up today ..not sure if i want to go with the sponge filter in the other tank or stick to the hob..hmmm choices choices

Very nice acquisition

thank you ^_^

Congrats ... As for your question about filters, for a fry tank used a sponge filter, the hob current and suction might cause a few problems...
