My newest mudskipper, Mel

It is kinda funny. I bought him in particular because my other one is a lot bigger and this one had to be seperated from the rest at the store because he was picking on all the other ones. I figured with that much attitude he should be able to hold his own with Moko. They have little staring matches with their fins flared but they both back down and everything seems to be going okay. They both have their favorite perches, Moko likes his tree stump and Mel sits on top of the waterfall, it is pretty cute. I do have to watch them whrn I feed them because Moko is faster and I want to make sure Mel gets his share.
Tank is looking awesome, Jackie. Did you ever confirm that you have P. barbatus? If so, keep an eye on them. I was chatting with Frank (from franksaquarium.com) this weekend at the convention about skippers. I mentioned I was thinking about trying a trio of the barbatus in my 75 once I get it finished. He said it most likely wouldn't be large enough, territory-wise, due to aggression levels and the fact that about 80-90% of those imported are males. I want to do some more research, but if I can get 1m/2f it might work out.
Thank you Sploke. I do have P. barbatus. I have been watching them like a hawk and so far just minor skirmishes. Just a couple of staring contests. They both have staked out their territory but I have another tank set up just in case. I do watch them when they eat because the bigger one is faster but the littler one is pretty feisty. So far it has been balancing out.
