I am so neurotic though. It has to be perfect or I just know they will be unhappy. LOL I am just hoping Mel and Moko recognize Mini Me as a fellow mudskipper and don't want to eat him.

20L I know I shouldn't have 3 in there but I just couldn't leave the little one at the LFS for another day.

It isn't totally seperate. It is a turtle dock kinda thing. There is a lip on the bottom so when you put the sand in it holds it in place but still allows the water to seep through.

Thanks Msj. I just went and checked that they hadn't eaten Mini Me, so far so good. But what is interesting is that Moko, my original 'skipper is a different color. He is almost black he is such a dark color of grey. Mel and Mini Me are a normal tan with iridescent spots and Moko looks like a black opal. I am thinking it might be a dominance thing. I am going to have to keep a close eye on them. Maybe 3 is too many.

Thanks all! Everyone is still alive this morning and all had a thawed krill for breakfast. They are almost back to a normal color too. I was a little worried.

The tank looks wonderful, Jacki!! Mini me should do just fine. I think Mel and Moko will be fine with him. He''ll be fat and sassy like the others very soon with your good care and great grub. You feed your guys so well.
