Fresh water mud skipper

[David Moses Heng]

Sighted at C328, near the shrimp tanks.

Bought about 13 pieces.

2 with DKK now.

My eleven are colouring up. Will try to take a picture of them tomorrow after work.

i saw them at c328 too, packed into packs of 2 and the other pack was 24. what is it used for? feeders?

[David Moses Heng]

No!! I am going to deploy them in my customers paludarium. BTW, my batch of 11 was flaring last night. Damn nice man!!

I'm very sure they are more brackish water than freshwater. In any case just add some sea salt. Don't think they will last in 100% freshwater.

they seems to be stocking quite often on the mud skippers nowadays and also seem like got freshwater sole fish. C328 always seems to be stocking on unique fish. and thats what i like about them

hi bryan, my batch of 20 mud skippers are doing very well with my croaking gouramis and wild bettas in my customer 322 paludarium featuring 3 line tree frog.

I guess you mean 4 lined tree frog, not 3 lined tree frog Anyway, i wont be surprised if the mudskippers get eaten by the frog, i saw them at c328 and they are really small.

Anyway, i have a feeling that in the long-term, they will do better with salt in the water. Just like the red claw crabs, just because they can survive in freshwater doesnt mean they will thrive in freshwater.

i just bought four pieces recently from y618...feeding them with frozen brine shrimps..no issues so far.

[David Moses Heng]

There shouldn't be any issues. Allow me to share my muddies.

looks cute ! aren't they suppose to be in muddy water?
I thought you were talking about this flat fish i saw at C328
What is that also?

[planted86]

they do need brackish water condition for long term survival. but they are still small so should still be fine without too much salt.

The one you saw should be the south american freshwater flounder, achirus errans
