Gudgeon Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Gudgeon in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 liters (20 gallons) for a small group
• Compatibility: Compatible with other peaceful, coldwater fish of similar size that do not occupy the same bottom niche aggressively. Avoid very small fish that could be mistaken for food.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-oxygenated tank with a fine sand or smooth gravel substrate to allow for natural foraging behavior. Plenty of hiding spots with rocks, driftwood, and plants are beneficial. Good filtration is essential as they are sensitive to poor water quality.
