The endler guy Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 So I have a land section ~9x~12 how many Indian mudskippers do you think would be good stocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 It’s a 40 gal, right? Maybe @Zenzo could help with the stocking question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to add some line-of-sight breaks, you could have 4 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 @Zenzowould those sight breaks best be rocks or wood or does it matter as long as they can perch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Zenzo Posted October 31, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 31, 2022 @Beardedbillygoat1975 It doesn't matter as long as they are on the smooth side (and have no effect on the water). If they can jump or climb up on it, that's a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(preferably something that would look nice, fit the aesthetic, be cheap/ easy to get) On 10/31/2022 at 3:25 PM, Zenzo said: I would suggest 3 Indian mudskippers based on your current setup.

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 No Opae ula would be expensive snacks for them. They should be kept on their own. I’ve thought about it. Not sure unless you use a transshipper that you could bring them in from Singapore. I’ve seen them with brackish water gobies, mollies, and puffers. Maybe @Zenzohas some thoughts.

Administrators Zenzo Posted November 2, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2022 @Aiden CarterI have Amano shrimp (larger ones) with my Indian mudskippers. Opae ula are too small and would most certainly get eaten (expensive snack as @Beardedbillygoat1975mentioned). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Zenzo Posted November 2, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2022 They don't need much water. Maybe just to the skippers and a few Malaysian trumpet snails for cleanup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
