Mudskippers..
Does anybody keep these and if they do, do you have any pics of their set ups i could look at ?
And have these even been bred in captivity ? I will be getting some once i have done enough research. And how many can you keep in a 20 gallon tank if thats even big enough for 1 ? Thanks in advance.

Theres an Aquatic shop near me in Nottingham that sell them, its called Japanese Water Gardens, they have a website but are not on there but you could ring them. I wanted some one day too, so interesting. They was on last nights Life BBC1.
I found a website with a bit of info on keeping them, link: Keeping mudskippers. | fshfanatic's Blog Says 30 gallon minimum but dont know how many in 1 tank. I would say 1 Mudskipper per 1 foot of tank, There was somebody on Aquarist Classifieds website selling some 4 in a 4 foot tank, theres a few others for sale too so best to look on there if you want some, unless you want to set up from new yourself.

They are very territorial so really only 1 could be kept in a tank that size and it's more about surface area available rather than depth etc with these for obvious reasons.
What are the tank dimensions?

I had a pair of mudskippers a few years back. Great little creatures, can become REALLY friendly and they're fascinating to watch. Theres many different varieties in all shapes and colours, i found them really easy to keep, they love live food! I also fed them the food i gave my marine fish - cockles and stuff!
I kept a pair in a 30 gallon tank - brackish, plenty of rocks/wood out of the water for them (they LOVE mangrove!!) and plenty of filtration. Easy peasy
