Hi, these are pics of my peacock gudgeons. I currently have 2 pairs and both pairs have laid eggs. They mated and laid eggs in the pvc pipes i provided, after which the male remains in the pipe to fan the eggs.

Thanks They like to spawn in very narrow caves. I was quite amazed when i saw both the male and female could squeeze into the pipe together.

Well, unfortunately all the fry have died. Have to restart again
