Feeding? Easy? Not so much...at least not in a community aquarium. They are not aggressive eaters, especially when compared to eight fully-grown Harlequin Rasboras (which also reside in the same tank). I use a turkey baster to spot feed the Peacocks. They're so cute, they come right up to the baster and eat out of it.
It's a small hassle as opposed to just tossing some food in there and forgetting about it, but it's helped me form a special bond with them due to having to feed them by hand. They only accept live/frozen food as well.
The coolest fish always call for a little bit more work.
The males have a hump-ish, bulbous head and show more orange on their bodies. The females show a little bit less color and often have black in addition to yellow on their fins, and their heads are much more streamlined.Very nice. Any idea on how to sex them? I've read very conflicting reports. They had a couple tanks of them around me, but I wasn't able to pick out a couple nice pairs. At 10-16$ a piece, I wanted to be sure to get pairs, so i didn't get them. Please keep us updated if you get them to spawn. Ill be ordering some when the weather turns nice.
$46 shipped for the pair off Aquabid. Kinda steep, but so far completely worth it!if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for them? ive always had interest in the goby/blenny looking fishes.
Not very. They max out at about 2.5 inches. Great for a 10 gallon.how big do they get?
