- Hey all,
The Southern Purple Spotted Gudgeon (Mogurnda Mogurnda) was thought to be extinct for many years until a chance discovery rescued the species.
These days they are available within the hobby and might be a great choice for your aquarium, if you can find them.
Hope you like the video.

*correction: Southern Purple Spotted Gudgeon is latin name Mogurnda Adspersa, not Mogurnda Mogurnda as stated in this video 😅
I catch them at this spot at reedy lake
*also wild populations seem to be a lot better these days, many people reporting to me they catch them all the time
What a beautiful fish. So glad breeders are keeping them around. 🐟🌿🙏👍😊
Good job Blake using the hobby to save endangered fish.
Nice guide Blake. Very interesting fish, such a shame they are endangered but far out, after 34 years being discovered again is amazing. Great to hear their numbers are improving, in the aquarium hobby at least.
Another interesting fish to learn about first thing in the morning! Great observations and information with breeding and keeping these fish Blake! I do like their chunky little selves! Beautiful fish as well, it's really interesting about their personalities and what type of parents you described them as! I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for teaching me about something new. I always enjoy learning with you! Another fish to jot down on my wish list! Thank you for sharing!! I hope you had a wonderful day! 👍🤗🌿🐟🌿💚🙏
Thanks Mary, so glad you enjoyed 😄 thanks have a great day
Such a great fish and a very good profile on them. Good to know about the multi-generation breeding in the same tank.
Thanks Blake.
I'm getting 2. Tomorrow and I'm very excited 😊 🤗 🤪
Amazing Blake!
Gudgeons are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing mate
Glad you enjoyed cheer
I seemed to have missed this video somehow, but wow what a great little fish. These guys just moved up in the list of wants.. 👍
Cheers 😄👍
Mate there are two species: the southern PSG (Mogurnda adspersa) and the northern PSG (Mogurnda mogurnda ). The latter was thought to be extinct whilst the other is doing well. They breed like rabbits in an aquarium and sexing them is pretty easy when they’re larger as the males develop a big bull head.
@@SenorTucano thanks 👍
I've got Mogurnda Mogurnda in the creek on our property.
interesting fish. Great video. thanks!
I have been catching hundreds of these on my property in se qld for the last 20 years in my tabby traps and have definitely seen a decrease in numbers due to less water flow and dry weather but I never knew they were that endangered they are beautiful fish
Really interesting video.
How did I miss this video! Man wish I had some to go in my rainbow tanks!
Very good looking fish.. I may have to try and get some. 👍
Mine swims in my hand, literally nips at me and is back and forth between my fingers.
Oh?.. I see these fish all the time in my creek up here in qld. Did not know they were endangered.
Just found a pair of purple spotted gudgeon at the lfs tonight and had no clue about them
Beautiful Aussie fish species. Thanks for the video. Would love to try a pare but not sure how they would go with false julli corys in a 4ft tank.
I often find these guys in traps when I'm catching prawns on our property up in FNQ.
Thats awesome cheers John
I'm so thankful that they were found again and are being captive bred! With those beautiful red and white stripes, and the blue areas, they should be called the 🇺🇲American Flag Fish!! Im joking- and no disrespect to an endangered species, treasured by your nation.🇦🇺
Lol theres already enough fish named after the american flag 🤣 cheers
@@BlakesAquatics Really?! I didn't know that! If I could get a breeding pair, I'd do my best to help their repopulation!
hi there these are gorgeous fish !! i was wondering which species you keep though as Mogurnda mogurnda is the 'northern purple spotted gudgeon' and Mogurnda adpersa is the 'southern psg' ?
Hmm you have me perplexed now as I always thought it was the other way around 🤔 i believe I have the southern
o no 🙉 i honestly cannot tell them apart in pictures. apparently mogurnda mogurnda can get slightly larger
@@plantslut lets go with Southern then as they are the endangered kind 🤣 until someone corrects it
fairo 👌
i was thinking the same thing, as i was pretty sure Mogurnda mogurnda was the northern and the only ones really found in the hobby 🤷♂️ and luckily they are very abundant in the wild. Although id loved to be proven wrong as it is awesome to keep an endangered fish.
Would it be possible to keep a larger group?
Yes definitely
@@BlakesAquatics thanks! Also would you know how long they live. Love your vids
Ohhh i like those....
Me tooo Craig!! Beautiful fish and I love their little faces!! Hope you've had a great day! 🌿🐟🌿🙏
@@marypaigeflynn4512 busy day but ok.. The one hour later start on Father Fish is just a bit to late some nights so I don't make it... 11pm.. Hows things at your end???
@@craigbroderick8935 been really busy that's for sure! And it takes a lot of time to enjoy the community every morning! I understand perfectly about being tired! 😁 Sometimes it's hard to remember how late it is for you guys but we always enjoy you coming by! Have a great evening and stay well my friend! 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚
Are the ones available in the shop captive bred?
Theres no way to know for sure without asking the specific store
The Southern species is widely available in the aquarium trade although not in WA.
cool
Got one from ebay
where did you get your tanks bro
Mostly just facebook marketplace and gumtree
do you know anywhere in nsw to buy these?
Sorry no I dont, i just stumbled randomly onto them
There's a few online ATM in selected aquarium shops
👍
There in qld . In the wild
Those are northern psgs
@@BlakesAquatics what's the difference between the two species. Are u located on the Gold Coast?
@@BlakesAquatics are the northern ones rare to find ?
