Gudgeons, Platies, and Licorice Gouramis

[Dwarfs]

My LFS had some of those Gudgeons in recently, what are they like in a community?

Any special requirements?

Peacocks do well in community settings, they can mix with tetras, gouramis, dwarf cichlids, other small gobies, badis, and most small catfish IME. They don't need any special requirements, other than freeze dried/frozen food will be all they eat

I love that platy/swordy photo and you have an awesome tank

Your Peacock gobies and Licorice gouramis are stunning! I love their set-up!

BTW - How do you sex the peacocks?

 

[Elisabeth83]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments

cometcattle - The gudgeons are pretty easy to sex
1. the male is bigger than the female
2. the female has a yellowish belly
3. the male gets a hump on his head

pm dwarfs or lucky62 about them..they have a lot more experience with them than I do
