ive seen some mudskippers in pets at home, and i cant help but be drawn in by them, they are so adorable, im just wondering if anyone can give me a quick low down on how easy they are to care for etc, dietary requirements, how many in certain size tanks, i have 30 gallon long and 20 gallon long tanks, do they need company or are they better suited to just the 1 in there? sorry for the long list, im just weighing up the idea of getting any at the moment, it would be my first brackish set-up, and id have to run it past hubby too
i would probably go with a sand/gravel substrate, with drift wood as places for them to crawl out onto rather than the 'beach' type of thing ive seen made out of building up the substrate in places, i figure it would be easier to keep filtered and clean that way. so maybe an inch layer of substrate, with a few pieces of wood around, a filter submersed in around 5-6inches water, a heater, and a good tight fitting lid to keep the humidity up. i wouldnt have any other types of fish etc in there, it would be a skipper only tank. any help and ideas appreciated.
