The Peacock Gudgeon is stunning in my 20-liter tank. It stays calm and adds vibrant color without causing any issues. I appreciate how it doesn’t need a large setup to thrive.
Jason Powell –
I’ve had this fish for three months now and it’s still active and colorful. The red markings and black tail spot are very noticeable. It’s a great addition to a small, well-cycled aquarium.
Yvonne Hardacre –
Beautiful fish with excellent coloration. It’s peaceful and doesn’t compete with other species. Only concern is it needs a stable environment, which I already have.
