My dad ordered 6 goo obo gudgeons from aquabid for $70, and we got 10!

They are very new to the hobby (Possibly 1999, I'm not completely sure) and look awesome!

Their scientific name is Alomogurnda nesolepis (I think) , and this is the only site that I found them for sale on besides aquabid, and they have a different scientific name :P
Goo obo
Ours are around an inch in length, and all ten have made it over the weekend! these gudgeons are going to be awesome!

Goo obo seems to work best when searching for these gudgeons :huh:

Well done dwarfs!!
Here is another pic for you - it is from the Australian Rainbowfish website, and taken by Kent Webster -

Thanks, they look awesome and are supposed to be very easily bred and raised! :o

That is a picture of a male, the females have pink bellies :P I can't wait til these guys get a bit bigger, then they'll start to lay eggs :D

Very cool dwarfs!

congrats on the new fish,Dwarfs.:tup:

Wow, that is one differant fish. You'll have to tell us about their behavior. ^^

not wrong...got any more info on them?? and lemme guess there illegal in aus! ??

Just a new guy (here) resurrecting an old thread, but I wanted to follow up and see if you could recommend a tank setup for these guys. What would you say would be the min. tank size for a couple, or for a group of 6? I've got a couple of potential tanks, both planted, that need occupants, and may move in this direction.

Thanks,
David :thanks:

I think a 29 gallon would well suit a group of these. The substrate should be sand (but gravel is fine), and it would be wise to provide many caves for them :)
