Diane,
When I was breeding peacocks they liked to have two entrances to their
cave.  If they didn't have a choice they would spawn in any cave I
gave them.  But if I set up more than one cave, they always chose the
one with 2 entrances.

Also, wipe off any bacterial slime and bleach the caves that have had
fungused eggs.  This was discussed the other day relating to
incubating killi eggs.  I doubt using a small dosage of acriflavin
would hurt gudgeons.

Got any extra pairs? :)  Definitely a fish I want to keep again, just
have to get space and money first.
