I have 4 Indian Mudskippers in a 30g long. I have them with nerite snails and fiddler crabs. 20g would be fine for 1-3 smaller mudskippers like the Indians. I wouldn't get an African unless you have a bigger tank, they get much bigger than the Indian species and are more aggressive. Mine have been really easy to take care of, I feed them blood worms, brine shrimp, emerald entree, small crickets and ghost shrimp when they can catch em. Do your water changes and things should be fine. They are by far my favorite fish, they are very entertaining.
I use play sand and here is a link to one of my post here for some of the more recent pics.

I got my Red Mangroves from LFS that carried them. Try ones that deal with Saltwater fish they usually carry them. My white and black mangroves came from a person from http://www.plantedtank.net/ forum who saw my tank with red mangroves and asked if I wanted to try white and black ones.
