I have actually made the floating island thing before (using spray foam). Your reptile magnet platform idea totally works.

@Matt B As far as my Java ferns, I keep relatively low salinity levels in my brackish tanks (maybe around 1.004 to 1.006 on average). I just put them in and they did fine. I also tried susswassertang as a moss on areas where the salt doesn't touch. They have been great as more terrestrial style plants (see my video).

Thanks! I haven't measured, I don't really keep any plants that have high lighting requirements. I know there is some loss, but it should be fine with most lights and most plants. @Matt B My only recommendation for your tank is to have more island space. Mudskippers like to be out of the water more than in it.

I actually cover the plants in my latest video. I’ll post it below. Nice setup by the way!

The condensation issue is tough. You can run a fan and have it blowing on the inside of the glass. You could also have a strip of screen on the top by the front. I have less of an issue because the room is warmer. I haven't had any mold issues. Snails or shrimp (Amanos) clean it up for me.

He actually is! LOL

This is awesome! So glad to see that you enjoyed your visit. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Glad to hep and offer any advice that I can. Here are some pics of my Indian mudskipper setup.

I have a several videos on my channel (search Tazawa Tanks mudskippers) on how to care for mudskippers. I am assuming that the plants in this setup are not real? Indian mudskippers should be kept in brackish water. They can survive in fresh water, but will live longer and be happier in a brackish environment. Since you have sand, I would suggest having some type of barrier or mesh screen around the sponge filter to prevent it from getting clogged. In my experience keeping mudskippers (about 6 consecutive years now), they will utilize more land area than water. They can also squabble a bit, so having some line of sight breaks will help. Lastly, I would suggest using one of the rocks in your setup as a feeding rock.

Woohoo! Let's go @Candi! That is a great looking tank. I am looking forward to seeing more of your tanks in the future. Thank you for sharing!

@Randy My favorite tank is hard to choose, so I am picking two. One would be my saulosi tank. It's a 75 gallon acrylic tank with a rock decor, with a bunch of Pseudotropheus/Chindongo saulosi. My other favorite tank is my Indian mudskipper paludarium. It's a 40 gallon tank with brackish water and a waterfall, and houses my Indian mudskippers, along with some bumblebee gobies, Amano shrimp, and Nerite snails.

Glad to see that you are enjoying this store. Super Cichlids is also a Retail Partner Store and offers Aquarium Co-Op club members a 5% discount. They carry many of our products.

Quick update. I have been filming a new fishroom tour and will be editing it for a release next weekend.

I love your setup!
