One of your Gudgeons would make a nice entry in our FOTM when we feature "any fish" later this year. Keep taking pics till you get an outstanding one.

Cuties....how many do you have now?

Over 10... Thats all I know. I tried counting and got to 10 before they all went nuts LOL

Thanks. I sure am happy that they are doing really well! I've enjoyed caring for them but at the same time I kinda want them to move out now

You've done so well with these Rocky, I'm very impressed. I remember your journey from the beginning, the countless agonies of trying to scape the tank how you wanted it and the endless complaining about your sore back....and then the drama with the cycling saga

All worth it in the end, eh?

I know.
I think I will be keeping one or two of the peacock gudgeons. See how they do with my others.

Thank you so much! That's means a lot!
I'm very fidgety so I still move stuff in the tank .
But I like these rocks wayyyy better then the dragon rocks at least.

My back is interesting... Its almost like my back stopped going out. I still have some strong aches in my back but it hasn't gone out in a while... I'm hoping this means its healing on its own?
I'm very nervous lifting stuff still though. I'm just waiting one day to pick something up and BAM my back decides it wants to leave.


It definitely has been worth the journey! I couldn't have done it without you all!

The only thing I regret is learning that a 20g long costs the same as a 20g high at my lps.... I was like: "Wait... So you're telling me... I could've had a bugger tank this WHOLE time!"

Keep breeding them, then trade in 20 of them for a new tank.

Maybe I can... We'll see what my parents gotta say about that
If I can I'm getting that monster 65g high tank. Then getting more gudgeons and a larger schooling fish

Here is a video of my fry! The colors are hard to see but you can see the way they feed as a group
