Description
Additional information

Mudskippers belong to the Gobioid family, specifically the subfamily Oxudercinae, within the family Gobiidae. They are a type of goby fish and are known for their unique amphibious behavior, allowing them to thrive in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.

Mudskippers are often referred to as amphibious fish due to their ability to breathe through their skin and the lining of their mouth and throat when out of water, provided they stay moist. They are primarily found in brackish waters, such as estuaries and mangrove swamps.

Unique Behavior: Unlike typical fish, mudskippers can move on land using their pectoral fins and are known for their playful hopping and territorial displays.
Amphibious Lifestyle: They thrive in setups with both water and land areas, adding a dynamic element to your tank design.
Low Maintenance: They adapt well to brackish water environments with minimal special care if their habitat is correctly set up.
Engaging Personality: Mudskippers are curious and interactive, often showing interest in their surroundings and even their keepers.
Ensure the tank has shallow water, sandy substrate, and ample land areas for them to explore.
