The purple-spotted gudgeon makes for an amazing rare, unique, and oddball addition to a native Australian or oddball aquarium. These fish were once declared extinct in the wild but after a small population was rediscovered, they were bred in captivity and now be kept in the home aquarium. The purple-spotted gudgeon remains at a relatively small size compared to other gudgeon species and is fairly easy to care for. They are almost like small predator fish making them a great option for aquarists who have space constraints.

Great personalityA great fish which I really loved watching. He recognises the owner & is always alert & on the prowl. Its a big monster in 4 inch fish. It killed 15 precious gobies & mollies in my 45 gallon tank. A very intelligent fish with good hunting sense. After all I had to remove him, but still like the fish with a great personalty.

great fishI ordered three purple spotted gudgeons and all arrived happy and healthy. Their shape and colours are amazing. They are a great addition to my native tank, however appropriate tank mates are a must. They have a good appetite and I can see how smaller fish would quickly disappear. Mine are sharing their tank with a large school of rainbows and love a feed of bloodworms.

little snake wolf head fishi really have grown the love this fish. smart and very aware of what going on out side the tank. kinda looks and acts like a cross between a wolf fish and a snake head, but what i just cant wrap my head around is the size. WTF! a how is all that attitude packed in to such a little fish! boo! this fish should at lest reach the 12 to 24 inch range but sadly no... this is a mistake of the fish god so it cant be a 5 star fish at 6 cm.

I regret buying this fish, he is a preditor to all other fish.I regret buying this fish, he is a preditor to all other fish. It will try to eat anything that is passing by the cave. I think I'll need to remove it before it gets bigger.

Pretty fish but not too tolerant of other fish.I like mine but he ate 2 rare goby's that were not too much smaller than he is, and my Nigerian Red Krib. I am not sure what to do with this guy. I like him but also would like to have other fish in my tank.
