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.

Very beautiful fish. They warmed up well and came hungry. Ate within hours.
Peacock Goby (Gudgeon)
Ordered two peacock gobies for my community tank and they arrived healthy and in perfect condition! They’re gorgeous little fish that love to swim around and explore. They’re a nice, colorful addition to my 36 gallon with lots of greenery and mopani wood! Definitely would recommend!
Fish were all alive. I have had no deaths and they appear to have settled. They are eating and growing. Its been around 14 days. Packaging was tinny tiny bags, bubble of water to hold the fish like in a bowl setting. I could potential of fail but they all arrived with bo issues. They were cold, the heat pack was not working, it did begin working after packaging was removed and laying out.
So very happy with this purchase. I was nervous because I had never bought online before. I'm glad I did! These little guys came healthy and feisty! I ended up moving them to their own tank that's just for them because they were a bit more aggressive than I was expecting. They're so beautiful and none of them passed away. Flip even sent me one more than I purchased, which I'm very thankful for. I will absolutely be buying fish from you again. In fact, I already have! So happy Prime Time Aquatics sent me your way. ❤️
