The Goby-Gudgeon Peacock, also known as the Peacock Gudgeon, is a stunning freshwater fish native to the slow-moving streams and rivers of Papua New Guinea. Highly sought after for its vibrant colors and peaceful demeanor, this species is perfect for both beginners and experienced aquarium keepers.

🐠 Appearance:

  • Size: Grows up to 2.5–3 inches (6–8 cm) in length.

🏑 Behavior & Compatibility:

  • Temperament: Generally peaceful, but males can become territorial, especially during breeding.

  • Tankmates: Ideal with other peaceful community fish like tetras, rasboras, and small catfish. Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.

🍀 Diet:
