Hi this is my first post here, i have been reading for a while and have found many of the peacock goby threads interesting as well as other species of goby.
I have 35l Arcadia Arc with a large piece of slate in the centre, well planted with several different species of plants and then the filter which comes with the tank and an extra fluval 1. I was wondering if this flow is a bit much for the Peacocks? In with them there are around 12 cherry shrimps maybe more maybe less.
Anyway back onto the topic i have 3 peacocks, 1 male, 2 females, They have been in there about 5 or 6 days and seem very happy. There is half a coconut in the corner which is for the male to have as a cave. He uses it but when i fed them this mornig the usual frozen bloodworm i couldnt see the male. He wasnt in the cave i checked with a torch so i left the room. When i re-entered he was there eating alongside the females but i didnt know where he had been. Then i noticed a gap next to the slate. He has obviously dug a large cave which goes well inder the slate so maybe he is preparing for breeding? One of the females is really plump...
The weird thing is i though you had to supply peacocks with caves but he made his own which i havent read about. I knew gobies did it because my stiphodons in my main tank dig under the bogwood.
Can some1 shed some light on this?
thanks
