Mogurnda mogurnda
Purple-Spotted Gudgeon, Northern Trout Gudgeon, Southern Purple-Spotted Gudgeon
Mogurnda mogurnda is a versatile fish with a striking appearance characterized by the purple spots scattered across its body. They are carnivorous, requiring a diet of live or frozen foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, and bloodworms.
This freshwater fish is somewhat territorial, especially during the breeding season, necessitating ample hiding spaces and room for them to establish territories. Despite their territorial nature, they are generally peaceful with appropriately sized tank mates.
