Mudskipper diet?

[gazelle]

I have a spare terrarium laying aruond
What do they eat besides crickets? I probably won't have the time to keep buying these things every week and I would like to give them variety. Do they eat any prepared foods in particular?

Thanks

You sort of posted this thread in an odd location. If you would like I can move this to the "Other Monster Fish" section where it will probably get better traffic.

I think most of the mudskipper threads are in the General Brackish subforum. But yeah. Mudskippers are fish, gobies in fact. They belong in the fish forums.

Mine used to jump onto my hand to feed on wet flake food out of my palm. I also kept live scuds in the tank. Most stayed under the tank rock work but, enough came out at feeding time to give the mudskippers a treat. They also fed on blackworms, chopped earthworm, brine shrimp, chopped thawed mussels/clams, crab meat, pellets, granules, sticks, and pretty much anything thrown into the tank.

so they were pretty open to anything? did you ahve to wean them to prepared stuff like flakes? do you think theyll take some waterlogged massivores (for the bichirs, in a seperate tank of course).
