Peacock Gudgeons are small, brilliantly colored freshwater fish from Papua New Guinea. Their pale blue to lavender bodies are decorated with red markings, yellow-edged fins, and a dark spot near the tail resembling an eye.

Despite occasionally being called Peacock Gobies, they are gudgeons belonging to the family Eleotridae. Their peaceful nature, manageable size, and striking coloration make them excellent additions to planted community aquariums.

Temperament & Behavior

Peacock Gudgeons are peaceful, curious fish that spend much of their time exploring plants, wood, and lower areas of the aquarium. Males may defend small caves or spawning tubes, but serious aggression is uncommon when several hiding places are available.

These fish are omnivorous micropredators. They often show the strongest response to frozen and live foods, although aquarium-raised fish can learn to accept appropriately sized prepared foods.

Recommended foods:

High-quality micro pellets
Small sinking pellets
Frozen baby brine shrimp
Frozen daphnia and cyclops
Small frozen bloodworms
Live baby brine shrimp
Finely crushed quality flakes

They do best in tanks with:

Live plants
Driftwood and shaded areas
Several small caves or spawning tubes
Gentle filtration
Low to moderate water movement
Fine sand or smooth substrate
Stable water around pH 6.5–7.8

Small group: 20-gallon long recommended
Planted community: 20–29 gallons or larger
