hey I just recently built a paludarium that was gonna house dart frogs but I decided it be more appropriate for mudskippers.

The tank is a 29 and I plan to keep 6 of the indian mudskippers in it.

The water is 4 inches deep and takes up 75%of the tank

Theres a driftwood log in the water and allot of rocks, I plan on adding more driftwood soon.

the plants are java fern, java moss, riccia, and dwarf sagetarea or somthin like that.

The background is cork bark and a redart/bantonite mixture with peat moss. moss has just randomly started to grow on it :)

Plants are doing well and the system has dual t5 lighting a filter and a heater that keeps the tank at 80 degree's and humidity at 90%

Sorry for the cloudy water id a few arrangements today. I have also not added the salt

I think it would be great for mudskippers. Maybe not 6 though.

You have to be slow when adding the salt. The sudden change could kill all the plants. And I know java fern and moss can survive and thrive in brackish conditions but I'm not sure about the others.
