Peacock Gudgeon Info

[FlameTetra333]

So, one day I went to a really far out LFS (about an hour from my house),and I saw these cute little fish called Peacock Gudgeons. I did some research online and it says they're compatible with boraras and dwarf gouramis. Right now I have a 10G with two gouramis (Male & Female) and I think 8-9 boraras (mixed species). I plan on getting maybe 1 or 2 but I need to know how to sex them so the males won't get territorial and kill each other. Is there any other info I need to know about keeping these guys? Thanks.

The boraras species I have only get to about 0.8 in. Max, so i dont think my tank is that stocked. I think I could manage maybe just one gudgeon.

You already have two gouramis and 8-9 other small fish. Thats pretty overstocked IMHO for a 10G.

gudgeons i have had a couple i kept in a 75g...they are not very hardy fish and i think would do better with nothing picking on them, so tiny tetras with 1-2 ina 10g might be ok if you have a lot of plants ect. but try doing some more research bc i am no expert on them
