Ant Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hey People, we got some purple spotted gudgens at work today and i didn't realise how big they get. These guys were best part of 15cm, and actually had some nice colouring. I believe they are quite agressive?? any one know much about these fish??

Caty Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Nice fish! Make sure you have lids on the tank, they can be bad for jumping out. Caty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Just don't put them in a community tank Anthony. They have big mouths and eat anything that swims by and they can swollow. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 yea we feed ours at work on china barbs..lol lazy things arent they, they wait untill the fish basically swims past there mouth and *Snap* gone, its like they couldnt be bothered chasing them so they lay in wait to ambush pray, awesome to watch.
