Indian mudskippers

[-Midnight-]

I have finally acquired several Indian mudskippers several weeks ago after a long time of waiting and thought I would throw up a pic.

I used Great stuff to build up some "shoreline" areas so the sand would stay in place. In the near future I hope to add one or two mangrove seedlings and a small simple high/low tide setup.

Yes and I have seen them higher than that! They also are able to jump quite high which makes a well fitting cover a must.

Do you have any filtration? They might actually need a larger tank, as I've found that they are very active fish, and need a quite large land area. But you may find out different. I only had them in my younger fishkeeping day's, and sadly enough I put a snapping turtle in with them. Don't ask me why, I figured it would be okay somehow. Sadly, no more skippers. I really liked them though, so am planing on a larger paludarium in th near future for skippers and dragons. When they get big enough, try feeding some pinhead crickets. That's very entertaining. Watching a fish hunt a bug, out of the water!
