What are good tankmates for mudskippers?Or any fish thats bfrackish and can live in shallow water
 
iV seen them with archers but they were just small so idk when they get big
 
How large a tank are you planning for them? Mudskippers prefer more land than water, so it would have to be quite a large tank to support fish too. They will also eat any fish they can fit into their mouth. I'd just stick with the skippers.
 
As would I. Except, depending on the tank, for bottom dwellers, something like a dragon goby, or knight goby (depending on the kind of skipper you get) could work, while bumble bee gobies could be on the menu.
 
i dont know if they would get along, but if your going with such oddities as these, a four eyed fish might work, as they are always at the surface and brackish as well.
 
Like I said, that would require a huge tank. Where's the OP go, anyway? I hate when someone starts a thread & just disappears.

No,Im still here!Anyway,I've often seen people keep them with fiddler crabs.Would that work?Ive also seen archers with them too
 
KNowing the tank size would help a lot. Glad to know your watching the thread. :) How much water/land area do you have & how deep is the water area? What are you using for filtration? I have the absolutely best tank for mudskippers! It's a 55g rivertank set up.
 
Lets see...The water depth is 6 inches The tank size is a 50g.The filter is a electric canister filter(external)with a built-in-heater.I also just bought a wave maker for them
 
I don't think you can fit an archer in 6" of water. Not much else either. What's the wavemaker for?
