from what i know about mud skippers, which is not a lot, is that they are suppose to be very territorial and aggressive. so mixing species might pose a problem, especially if they are different sizes.

from what i know the blue-spotted mudskipper gets between 5-8inches, there is also the black line mudskipper, i think thats what it is called, and they get between 7-10inches. hope this helps.
