New Mudskipper pics :)

Just FYI...indian mudskippers are Periophthalmus novemradiatus, also known as Pearse's mudskipper. Having that information can be useful when searching for info as common names often get confused among species, especially those not commonly kept such as mudskippers.

Thanks Sploke

I know it's in my book, I was just too lazy to go look it up

OMG I want 5 just like them!!! I am in total love! Where abouts in NH did you get yours? Are they easy to keep? Now I am going to have to do some research, with a face like that I would be glued to the tank

How big do these get and what species are they? I'm thinking about setting up a 10 gallon for a few.

IMO you should look at stocking these just like you would any other 4" fish (i.e. I would not recommend a 10gal; especially if you are going to reduce the water level to have some land areas).

The smallest tank I used was a 20 long, and I started out with 3 skippers
I would def go for a "long" tank with them, as the height is wasted, imo

That is the cutest little critter!

They are so awesome!
I could literally sit in front of their tank all day
