Just Arrived: Indian Dwarf Mudskippers, Periophthalmus novemradiatus var.
Looking for mudskippers but don't have a lot of room? These fish may be just what you are looking for. The Indian dwarf mudskipper gets about 4" long TL and, unlike the African mudskipper, the males somewhat get along with each other (they will chase each other but rarely, if ever, kill one another, IME). Six of these fish can be housed in a 29 or 30 gallon tank without a problem. They do require brackish water, and I keep mine at 1/4 seawater. Given them plenty of climbing places (driftwood, rockwork, etc) as the more room, the better.
They are not fussy feeders, and will take frozen bloodworms, frozen mysis, flake food, small pellet food, and thye like. They also eat pinhead crickets.
They are $7.00/each, 6/$35.00, and 12/$65.00
Frank's Aquarium is located in Lindenhurst, NY. If you are nearby, you may arrange for a pick up. If not, shipping is not a problem.
