Hi, I just joined & am crazy happy to find other mudskipper keepers! I've done multiple searches on google after getting my first one & only today did it pull up a post from here made this year!
I bought my first mudskipper last month, who has affectionately been named Skipper by one of my buddies Yes, I know, very original It's been very entertaining so far. I love how it always has to see what's going on.
Soon I plan on getting a 20gal long to move it into, along with mangroves. Have been going back & forth on sand Vs. mud refugium.
Today I decided to go ahead & grab a second mudskipper from the same store while they were still in stock (doubt the guy is getting anymore, he's had a hard time selling them.) With working on moving to a larger tank, I thought two might be fun to have. I've got a plexie glass divider in case there are issues while getting the new tank done.
So far they don't appear to be having issues, but i'm starting to wonder if I ended up with 2 different species.

I don't know if anyone has guesses on what species they may be?
