Mudskippers I had the same problem when I conceptualized the tank. I live in Austin, TX and have occasionally gotten lucky at my LFS. Right now, they have a big, beautiful African mudskipper. However, the most reliable source that I found was Brackishwater Fish. I opted to do a larger...

I realize that this is a fairly old thread but thought to pass on a warning concerning L46. They are beautiful and feasible to breed with attentive husbandry. Right now their price seems to be holding steady at $190 for captive-bred juveniles. Now, the warning: It is tempting to buy these...

Agreed. Mine are not a proven breeding pair and are still juveniles, despite the pricetag. I like these guys enough that it is one of the species I intend to stock in both South American tanks that I am working on. I found them slightly cheaper online (6 for $240), but not once you factor...

I am in the process of simultaneously and slowly stocking two decent sized aquariums. In the past, I have been an anal retentive biotope aquarist and eschewed popular choices in favor of more esoteric ones (Indian mudskipper community with brackish tankmates and a tidal flow anyone?). This time...

I love these guys and currently have a single pair that I picked up at my favorite LFS. You may already know this, but in case you don't: L134 are listed as "omnivorous", but skew much more heavily to the carnivorous end of the spectrum. Wafers don't excite them much, nor will they play the...
