Known for their vibrant hues of blue, red, and yellow, these small but striking fish are a beautiful addition to any aquarium. The Empire Gudgeon is peaceful and generally easy to care for, making them a great choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They are typically bottom-dwellers but enjoy swimming through mid-water, especially when in a well-planted aquarium. While they are not aggressive, males can be territorial during breeding, so providing plenty of hiding spaces and plants is ideal. Empire Gudgeons are active scavengers, feeding on small invertebrates, detritus, and leftover food, helping to keep the tank clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"1208\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"905\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"905\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"862\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Easy (great for beginner fish keepers)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"906\" data-end=\"966\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"966\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"923\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Peaceful (territorial during breeding)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"996\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"969\" data-end=\"996\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"969\" data-end=\"977\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e – Up to 3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"997\" data-end=\"1035\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1035\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1012\"\u003eTank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – 20 gallons minimum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1070\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1070\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – 72°F to 78°F\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1184\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1184\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1081\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e – Omnivore (small live or frozen foods, high-quality pellets or flakes, and occasional plant matter)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1185\" data-end=\"1208\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1208\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1193\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 6.5 to 7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1251\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1249\"\u003eThis listing is for 1 Empire Gudgeon.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46341367857374,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo.png?v=1741200651","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/empire-gudgeon","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
