Mudskippers?

Good day any one that keeps mudskippers maybe?

 

Last time I saw for sale was here:

http://www.monkeyfountain.co.za/contact-us/

 

If memory serves me right @GaryG used to keep them

He hasn't been active much, but he was online the other day so maybe he responds

Otherwise try searching his posts.. as I said, im sure he kept some..

 

Must admit I also haven't seen any for sale for as long as I can remember

 

My lfs have now in stock thinking of getting a pair

 

I kept a pair not too long ago, of P. barbarus. Tried them out in two types of setup, and they flourished in both.

Have you managed to identify which species? Slight differences in behaviour but otherwise similar care throughout the group.

 

I read u must only keep one what size tank for one?

 

One male, preferably. Or only one if you have limited space, since the male might harass the female.

Space is species dependent. Periophthalmus barbus and P. argentilineatus get bigger and are more likely to quarrel among themselves, so would need approximately 40cm² per animal for comfortable housing with both a "land" and water section. P. novemradiatus get much smaller and tolerate each other much more, so a similar space could house a group of two or three.

 

I have owned mudskippers they are fun fish to own, I would feed them a baby cricket and they would chase them and stalk them but I gave them to someone who had a good setup
