I have 6 (3male, 3 female) peacock gudgeons in a 3ft tank with 2 maculosus
and some young fish 1.5 - 2.5 cm. I feed them quite regualary small amounts
of micropellets 2-3 times a day. They have not nipped any fins yet but they
sure go for the food in a big way - as if I had starved them for a week! I
had some peacock gudgeons over a year ago and they did fin nip. I cannot
remember what happened to them aside from going the way of all flesh.
