I have 3 skippers and about 5 juvenile dalmation molly tank mates to keep the skippers entertained/well fed. It's rainy season here so I've been feeding them flying ants and crickets. Got some great video of "the hunt and kill" tonight - I'll post as soon as I have time to edit it! :)
 
Almost a month gone by and time for some updated pics. The tank is idling along nicely and getting a healthy layer of algae growth all over the "rocks". I'm having trouble keeping some of the terrestrial plants alive so I've been trying a few different kinds to see what works - hit and miss, trial and error style! Not much else to say as theres been no straying parameters or mysterious deaths - Me and the skippers are mucho happy! :)

Heres Oswald chasing Lee off his rock (Lee is the brown blur in the water). Oswald's grown an inch (in length and girth!) in the last month since the greedy **** gets the lions share of the crickets and flying ants...

If those are the same species as the Atlantic mudskippers, you're going to have issues with space in the long term. My female is about 6" long right now. Setup looks absolutely great though. What do you keep your salinity at?
