Such a beautiful species profile 💙💛💚. I'm an aquascaper from Chicago Illinois. Getting 2 of these beautiful purple spots 💜 for my fidh room tomorrow. You just got me so excited 😊

Thats awesome! They are some of the coolest fish you're very lucky to have them. Are they common in the aquarium hobby over there? Also they will eat anything that can fit in their mouth

Love this guy's narration. Charismatic like from a TV show

[@murkyseb]

Thank you very much, that’s very kind I’m glad you enjoy my videos :)

Terrific video, I spawned convicts first and these second 20 years ago can't find them anymore as my pet store can't order them, nicely done video, FYI yours which is 2 years old is directly below another video which is 3 years old which talks of them being extinct...

[@murkyseb]

Thank you I’m glad to hear someone else is interested in gudgeons! They definitely aren’t extinct and are relatively common in Queensland!
