Purple Spotted Gudgeon In Community Tank

[sharz]

I currently have 5 lampeye tetras, 5 cardinal tetras, 2 dwarf gouramis, 1 beta/fighter, 1 hoplo catfish, 2 khuli loaches, 5 algae shrimp, 2 apple snails and 4 bumblebee gobys. I went to my local pet store today and noticed a fish that looked amazin, he looked like a type of goby, it was the purple sptted gudgeon. The woman in the shop wouldnt sell me the fish as she sais it would eat my bumblebees can someone please advise me whether or not i should buy the gudgeon.

My tank is peaceful at the moment so wud the gudgeon mess everything up? And if so.. wat could i get rid of in order to keep him as he was a very intresting and pretty fish.. thankxxxxxx guyssss n girlsssssssssss

one more thing, my cardinal tetras fins are abit chewed up.. am i right to blame it on the bumblebees?

Sharz you are right they are lovely fish and they look better as they mature into stocky looking little predators, I had 4 in a tank hat got to about 4-5 inch and although I loved them the ymade short work of someyoung congo tetra I included to add pace in the tank!!!

so I would say leave them unless you can change yourtank to suit them
