Last week I ordered 2 peacock gobies (hopefully a male and female) from ely aquatics.They said to check in on thursday (tommorow )...Can't wait till I get them.
Anyone have experience with them?

Male and Female are totally different looking so sexing is easy. They are great fish, i kept a pair for a while, just give them a quiet corner and a cave, you will have babies in no time.

Here are the pair i had

Male

Female

Im looking for some at the moment. Well done for getting them! I used to have a couple, were really good fun, not what youd expect form goby at all.
Are you trying to breed them?

Beauty's I've read up a fair bit on them, they are apparently fiarly hardy goby and easy to breed, as you've confirmed .Thats another reason why I wanted them, to get some fry...I miss my old kribs lol.

They're going in my aquaqube 40 litre, I'll be using the cave which I bred my kribs in for them (will be easy to cover with a load of flame moss).

What did you feed yours on?

Yep same here, flake and bloodworm are taken readily.

Got them on saturday, they're really small, about 2.5cm.The colours are amazing though.I'm pretty sure I have a male and a female, the woman and the shop sexed them for me who had bred them before, she said it's hard to tell because they were so small and if they arn't just bring one back and we can exchange.
Its a really good shop, ely aquatics.
