I thought I would add the videos description as you cannot otherwise see it from within here.
Finally managed to complete my first video. Really enjoyed this process with the help of my nephew
- The Peacock Gudgeon is also referred to as the Peacock Goby
- the scientific name of this species is Tateurndina ocellicauda
- the pair in this video regularly breed now and there are 63 of the five week old fry that you see in the video.
- the male fans the eggs until they hatch, but then he will eat the fry so is best removed.
- you will see an airline with an occasional bubble which simulates the action of the male to assist in the hatching of the fry after I removed him. The young you see in that process are now 3 days old.
- when born the fry are so small they need to be fed on Banana Worms, then Walter Worms, moving onto Micro Worms as well as baby brine shrimp, then gradually transferred to a variety of aquarium foods, so that they will survive within the standard aquarium.

I would be interested in others experiences of feeding these fry, and ultimately as they get older getting them to accept dry foods that they are more likely to be fed in a standard aquarium. I have read some other posts, however would love to hear of others attempts at achieving this goal, thanks
