I have to say, mudskippers both fascinate me and freak me out. :lol: But that tank is absolutely gorgeous! :D

Thank you! I was really worried I couldn't do something creative and I know there is too much stuff in it, But I like it.

I don't think there's too much. In fact my husband just came in and looked at it and loved it too (he wants turtles). :)
 
Sooo cute! I bet he will fit in great! Are they aggressive to new members of the gang? Or do you think Moko will play nice? Was he the only one at the pet store? He doesn't look as spoiled as the other... you'll have to work on that! :grinyes:
 
good luck!!!!!

mudskippers are sooooo cool!!!!

There were more at the store but they are $29.99 each so I don't think another is going to come home soon. I put him in with Moko now and they haven't noticed each other yet. We will see what happens. :)
 


JACKIE!!!!! YOU NAMED YOUR NEW SKIPPER AFTER ME!!! *squeals with delight*

I'm soooooo happy!!!! :)

Mel is just gorgeous!!! You tank looks fantastic... just wonderful!! I just now got to see it. (wee hours of Friday morning)

I just got back home. I've been out of town visiting my sister in Austin, TX area... and went out looking for Texas holey rock. Found a bunch!! Brought home a bunch, but I'm planning to go back for more.

Your pics are great!!!!
 
Tank? That doesn't even look like a tank. Looks like the photographer surfaced out of the shallows!
 
Absolutely beautiful tank – congratulations..! I shall be setting up a 60 x 18 inch mud skipper tank soon, but it's back to the drawing board as to design now. You have given me something much better to aim at.
What are the immersed plants in the background?
