Do the "perple" spotted gudgeon harass the empire gudgeons?

Not at all it was a surprise to me because the purple spots eat every thing but they like the empire they have been together for a year now

How can you have p bass and snooks in the same tank with a spotted gudgeon that struggles to make 15cm on a good day

Missed the 1

One of my peacock bass ate one of the WC Oscars Alex gave me the other day. Probably about 12cm long. My red bay snook swallowed my 15cm FH as well. Maybe the gudgeons not a big enough meal.

Yeah I've kept them about 10 years ago in a planted tank with rainbows. Never found them to be a threat to anything unless it was quiet a bit smaller then them.

The tank is 5ft by 3ft but 2.5 so It will last awhile but I am getting a 6ft soon
so you are saying that this tank is 5x3x2.5 ? and yet your eye is good enough to quote the size of your fish accurately ........... c'mon mate what is the actual dimentions of the tank and what is the actual size of your gudeon ?

i'm not one for people getting a hard time on here but if your going to post up bs you can expect to get called out on it
