Hello! I haven't posted on this site in quite a while. I had been running a 10-gallon planted betta tank for several years, and after the last betta died I upgraded to a 20–long. Right now the new tank is running well, the plants are growing, and I have a school of 12 neon tetras swimming around.
I am thinking about possible additions to the tank, and I am considering peacock gudgeons. I have not kept these fish before, but they seem interesting. I have a few questions:
1. Has anyone had any problems keeping them with neons?
2. My substrate is Eco–Complete. Will this present any problems? (I have heard that some bottom-dwellers don't do well with it, although I'm not sure to what extent peacock gudgeons hang around the bottom of the tank.)
3. How many should I buy, and should I aim for any particular distribution of males and females?
4. Is there anything else I should know about this species?
5. If you don't think peacock gudgeons are a good idea, what kind of fish could I consider instead?
Thanks!
