Hope you read up on them.
Mudskippers are quite active when out of water, feeding and interacting with one another. The ability to breathe through their skin and the lining of their mouth (the mucosa) and throat (the pharynx). This is only possible when the mudskipper is wet, limiting mudskippers to humid habitats and requiring that they keep themselves moist.
Good luck!
