Peacock Gudgeon Breeding and Care

The Peacock Gudgeon (Tataurndina ocellicauda) is a great little fish from Papua New Guinea. It stays small and makes a wonderful addition to almost any non-aggressive tropical fish community aquarium.

Hey Jason great video! I recently purchased 10 of these guys and they are currently in my quarantine tank. My question is everyone says they are peaceful fish however I've recently noticed that three have died unexpectedly and 3 of the ones that are still alive have ripped fins one with it's back tail almost completely gone. One larger male has perfect finnage and seems to be very territorial. Is this normal or should I remove the male that seems to be chasing? I would hate to get rid of him he looks great but I don't want him to murder the rest of the group one at a time. Thank you for any feedback.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

It might be a good idea to put some structure in the QT tank - usually they settle in fine once everyone has there own area in the tank.

Hi Jason, great educational video as always. I am wanting to add these guys to my community tank (53gallon) which currently has a male plakat betta, honey gourami, harlequin rasbora, cardinal tetra, hillstream loaches, cory cats and some otos. Would these peacock gudgeons wreck havoc in the tank or would they be a good fish to add. I'd like something that stands out at the bottom of the tank as I currently have the corys which hang out at the back and hardly venture to the front of the tank. Parameters at soft water, heavily planted, pH 7, temp 78F. Any other suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

Question: Can Peacock Gudgeons tolerate aquarium salt? I have a sad molly in my 10g (other roommates are a platy and a nerite snail) and looking to treat him with some salt to start. But I've seen some hesitant comments about salt and gudgeons. May just move the molly over to small quarantine tank I have. I definitely love my gudgeon, I got things going back in June and my LFS suggested him. I hadn't heard of them before, but he's great and doing well. Looking to upgrade soon to a 20 Long and of course get some new friends. Thank you for all your videos and help with things as I've been going along. Cheers.

Hello from 🇬🇧 . Very interesting video & such lovely fish. On someone else's video I asked which Gobies/Gudgeon or Blenny (I love those 3 types) would go with my Dwarf Cichlids, I was informed these would, that brought me here to further my research before committing. What do you think? Thanks

Any way I could send you a picture to check out to confirm it?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Hey, I've actually never seen them lay eggs in real time. I just see the eggs afterwards. The best thing to do is find the male and see if he is guarding eggs (usually in a cave or under rock work). If he is, and you want to keep the eggs, you'll want to either remove the eggs (and tumble them), or remove the other fish in the tank and make sure there is good water flow where ever they laid the eggs to prevent fungus. Good luck!

He doesn't seem to be guarding anything. He's just cruising around as usual. Maybe he or the dwarf gourami ate them sometime last night. Thanks for the reply and I'll keep an eye out for the next batch.

[@bebop4307]

Are they a lot happier in a tank with both males and females? I love everything I've learned about these fish but haven't found if a male would be able to live alone without a female and stay peaceful with tetras, which would be his tank mates. I know from keeping guppies they're generally more happy in a tank with both males and females but my tank got crowded very quickly, so until I have a more established space dedicated to my tanks, I've been avoiding fish that kind of have to reproduce to be happy, like the guppies. So I would likely get one peacock gudgeon to avoid fry, only as long as the fish would be happy.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

The male can live on its own. They don’t seem to mind.

Actually it’s not the eggs they eat but the fry. In a true the fry leave the area as soon as they hatch and there tends to be lots of cover and small foods for them to eat in that cover. In a tank it’s harder to get away and usually not as much cover.
