Compatibility

Would an anableps, archerfish, and african mudskipper be able to coexist?

I cannot tell you from firsthand experience, because I've never tried. But one problem I can forsee is the Mudskippers though... they'll need thier beach like environment, or some land to be able to crawl up on to. With such requirements, the water will have to be rather shallow, and so decreasing your water volume. As such, the water won't retain heat well and can pollute very easily. The only way to overcome this is to have a very large tank....

It can be done, and would be a very fascinating setup. The only issue I see with compatibility is that the archers and anableps are both topwater fish, but I've seen them together before without any problems

i think the archerfish might eat the mudskipper when hes bigger.

If it is one of the larger mudskipper species, it would be a while before the archer gets to a size where it will be albe to eat it
