The Peacock Goby (Gudgeon) is a gorgeous small fish in a rainbow of colors. They are in full color even when not breeding. They only grow to about 3 inches. They inhabit shallow heavily vegetated slow-moving streams with submerged branches, roots, or leaf litter. Black gravel will have them show off their best colors. They are active fish that look great in a small group. They prefer temperatures 72-78o F. They originally came from Papua New Guinea with these having been captive-bred.

To resemble their natural environment, sandy bottom with driftwood and a few rounded or flat rocks for them to breed on is ideal. Leaves on the bottom to add cover will also help. They enjoy the water that has been stained with tannins (Almond leaves would be perfect as cover as well). Keeping them with other small schools of Cardinal or Green Neons would also give them comfort by making them feel it’s safe.
The Peacock Goby enjoys softer water with a neutral pH. They are fairly easy to breed using 1/2 PVC pipe, open on both ends. Have one of the ends facing the front glass so you can tell when the male is guarding the eggs. This also allows for easy moving of the eggs to another container. We feed them a large variety of foods which include ground Northfin flake foods, small Northfin pellets (veggie, community, & bug pro), frozen foods, and live baby brine.
The scientific name for Peacock Goby is Tateurndina ocellicauda.

Looks healthy, so far.
Looks very healthy so far. Will follow up in the near future!!
I purchased a peacock goby, and love the coloration it's showing. It seems to be happy in my tank with other community fish. I'm a happy customer!!
Peacock Gudgeons that I ordered arrived healthy and were active after getting put in their tank. I like that Flip quarantines all their fish prior to shipping them out.
