My mudskippers

I want everyone to know that this tank is temporary. I will be upgrading them to a 30-40 gallon tank this summer. These guys are young and get along very well.

i dont know why these guys arent more popular. they are easy to take care of and they are so funny. when i go up to the tank they hop up onto land waiting for me to feed them and its fun to watch them hunt down a cricket.

Oh shoot...now I want some too!

cool fish, where do you get them? are they expensive?

My lfs (just went out of business this week) ordered them for me for $10 a piece and they are very hardy. They have to be in order to live in their natural environment. They have to adapt to daily changes in specific gravity and they spend most of their time on land. I really want to move these guys to a bigger tank. If i had to have only 1 tank these guys would be it. They are amusing.

Very cool I think those would be neat to have. What size of tank wold they need?

 

[Homer8]

absolute min 10 gallons each. Its not so much volume but area. A 20 long would do just fine for most of the small species just as long as there isnt much aggression.
