How many fry did you get from several males spawning at once? I have heard
of over 100 from a spawning but personally have never had more than 40-50.
For food I used initial green water then tetra Red then Green supplemented
witth Brine Shrimp nauplii and micro worms. I now just keep the colony
going each year by putting 3 pair outside for the summer in a pond and
bring them in for the winter. That usually supplies me and several other
hobbyists for the next 6 months or so.

<< I wanted a number a males sitting on
eggs before I bothered to raise a batch. Peacock gudgeons take a fair
amount of time to get to salable size and I really don't like
bothering with just one spawn when I'm going to invest in the tank
space for that time period.>>
