Hi everyone,

Last december I purchased a mudskipper from a new pet shop near me. Needless to say, it did not live long . It was partly my fault, as I did not read as much info as I should have on mudskippers. Well, I was in Ottawa yesterday and found one at Big Al's . The staff was very helpful at explaining the conditions that the mudskipper needed. First, it needs brackish water with a bit of coral to keep the ph up. Secondly, it needs a small current of moving water(internal filter can provide) and some rock that is partly exposed. Mudskippers spend a fair amount of time out of the water. I named my mudskipper Skippy II . He also likes to stick on the glass . Wish me luck with Skippy II .

Hi eveyone,

Skippy II is doing very well so far...he eats like a little piggy...he has had frozen black worms, blood worms, and mysis shrimp.....next on the menu is shrimp pellets and frog pellets. Oh, he might be getting a Mono (fish) as a friend.

Red, the brackish water nut..hehehh

Hey Red,

Mudskippers are so cool! Good luck with your second little guy.
