Beautiful fish. I had a bunch of baby peacock gudgeons just before I had to get out of the hobby for a while. My mom rented my little house furnished for a bit, and the new tenants took care of the 10g they were in, but sadly all the fish died off slowly within a few months. I had some nice plants in that tank too... ah well.
I hope you have good luck with your pair, and get lots of nice babies!!

yeah I plan on adding PVC in to the planted tank they will be going in to..maybe hiding it a bit with the plants.

I don't recall ever seeing them for sale around here.
