What tipe of mud skipper are they
This is THE MOST Fascinating, Magical, Mystical & Awe-inspiring Video I've ever watched on my Newly Discovered & Now, Most Favorite Little Creature!!!
Precioso video
Could you please tell me how you created the mud?
did the fish only create a sand movement, etc kind of scape?
what kind of media is used? is it beach sand? or estuary sand?
How can i contact you.?
dr_schell@hotmail.com
What do you feed your skippers please? They look so chunky and healthy. Mine is turning up his nose at almost everything I offer, including live blackworms and live bloodworms. He likes crickets but doesn't seem very skilled at catching, or eating them - he seems to suck on them like a lollipop and then spit them out, I have never seen him eat an entire cricket, i am left with little dead crickets bodies I have to clean up after him. Is this usual?
That’s amazing I heard they were very hard to breed. It’s super cool that you have accomplished this!
Just flooded💀
I have been working on my mudskipper enclosure and was wondering if you might have a moment to shoot me an email and tell me what you used for the mud or where you collected it, your salinity, ph, and temp, and the water volume difference between high and low tide (I would love to know what mechanism you use for it as well) I keep all of my fish in biotope enclosures and I would love to replicate your estuary tank because it obviously keeps these amazing and intelligent fins very healthy and happy.
I keep 6 p.nobemradiatus in a 125 gallon tank on a deep substrate made of river clay and fine grain sand. My tidal flow seems to change the water volume much less than yours does so I may try increasing the high tide level. I run the tidal mechanism with dual pumps on timer but due to the muddy nature of the water I keep having to replace the pumps when they clog. Advice on a more efficient tidal flow setup would be appreciated. Also curious if you use heat lamps?
Thks for your video. May you tell me how to determine male and female, please. I'm going to buy them but I can't discern their sex. Thks u
Thks so much. Your video so so amazing.
You video so amazing. Thks a lot
Incredible!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I never new anybody were successful in breeding Mudskippers! Great job! Did you managed to raise the fry?
Amazing video!!
Amazing! Well done successfully breeding in captivity! - Have you only kept the p. gracilis? I am super interested, as I have see these in brackish waters here in southern England, but I can't find any info on mudskippers being found in the UK - so I am trying to figure out what species it was that I saw maybe 30 years ago now! It was a smaller type..
Really cool! - I am hoping to set up something like this..
What's the difference between mudskippers and lizard? 🤨
Mudskipper mansion.
Wow! How did you get the mud?
I think I had one of these in my 60 gallon fish tank and the pet store told me it was a goby
They are in the goby family.There are so many types of gobies.
It dig it’s own holemor we make it? And how to know the gender
Any more info on this? Did any of the fry survive?
What’s your salinity? Also what kind of mud are you using? All my sand and mud I’ve used caves in when tide is high..I’m debating on using mud from outside but I’m nervous about parasites and other problems! And how did you make you tidal system?
Also my alpha male keeps killing my other males.. I went from 6 to two! And it’s a breeding pair !
Did you boil your mud first? I’m debating on using mud from outside but I’m concerned about parasites ect..
How I would make the tides: 1. Drill a small hole where you want the low tide to be. 2. Attach a tube from the main tank hole to a 2nd tank placed below the main tank. 3. In the 2nd tank, fill with water and insert a pump. 4. Use the pump to take water from tank 2 to the main tank. 5. Put the pump on a timer so it fills to the desired height and then shuts off. *As long as the intake rate exceeds the drainage rate, the tank water level will increase when the pump comes on, and gravity will take care of the descending tide through the first hole. For a really slow descending tide, drill a very small hole or use aquarium floss to create a little obstruction in the tube (just be aware you'll probably have to clean the floss from time to time to prevent clogs). To prevent overflow in the case of malfunction, just don't fill the 2nd tank with enough water to exceed the capacity of the main tank. Hope that helps people!* P.S. If anyone knows how to make the perfect substrate for this, please post!

If you have multiple mudskippers in the tank will the others eat the babies?
Can you tell me how you made this substrate? I made my mud, but it wasn't very good. THANKS
I’m searching for the same answer!! I wanna use mud from outside but I’m nervous about parasites and stuff !
@@ashlyraquelferrel3566 We are two
@@eduardooliveiragarcia5198 I’m thinking pool sand and mud from a nearby river haha
@@ashlyraquelferrel3566 i was watching another person and he said pottery clay is the best and thats what he uses
This is an amazing video. What type of sand did you use? Or was it a mix? I'm trying to figure out how to get the consistency just right.
Amazing video! Have you considered making a video on how you created the fluctuating tides?
I want to do that same thing for my salt marsh aquarium.
Just use a motor that moves back and forth at a slow pace with something flat attached
Hello! Is this tank low maintenance? I think it looks great and was wondering what additional plants I can add to make it as low maintenance as possible. Thank you
what is the name of this mud?
There the least agreesive
And azure too These two species are least aggressive
Gday I know I'm abit late but how did you go about creating the tide system? I'm planning on making myself a mudskipper tank aswell as adding some soldier crabs and was wondering how to go about incorporating the plumbing to allow for drainage and refill of the tank
I've been asking the same thing. There seems to be no information anywhere on the internet on how to create a tidal system like this. If you find out, I would be very interested.
actually Hayden, if you haven't already figured it out... I have a solution. Feel free to PM if you want.

@@annikachristensen4323 Spot on, just what I was thinking as well. Thanks Annika :)
@@annikachristensen4323 umm..so there's only one hole on the tank? or two?
Where is the water? And what are the water parameters? Are they still alive and healthy
is there any good qualities to mudskippers whenever i see them i just get mad
y did he flood it
Do you know if Indian mudskippers are being captive bred if so where could I find some
Mudskippers have only been captive bred on the very occasion. As far as I am aware, I am only the second hobbyist to achieve this. All mudskippers currently available in the trade are wild caught.
@@Limnodynastes1 YOU are TRULY awe-inspiring!!!!
Excellent video Chris. Great to see my old tank is being put to good use
Bro I wanna get mudskippers what type should I get
There are many factors you need to consider. Size of tank, how you want to keep them, etc. ALL mudskippers are territorial and aggressive. If you want a colony, P. gracilis (the ones in this video) may be best for you as it is one of the smallest species. Other larger species are best kept as a single specimen in a tank. Do your research BRFORE you purchase one
Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed watching it. How did you make the tidal water movements? Is that on another video? Orange County, California.
There is a sump that sits under the display tank. During the high tide, water is pumped into the tank (against gravity) to the high tide overflow level. Then the pump turns off, water drains back out of the tank through the inlet, which is lower than the overflow, to form the low tide.
@@Limnodynastes1 - Thank you for that info. :)
Nice one mate! a great effort, looks so natural and they are breeding for you so they must be happy.
Dude how did you make such a legit accurate environment with tidal water
Am just adding a new video showing the incoming tide. Check it out. Shows the mudskippers breeding
Limnodynastes1 oh you actually responded. Thought you was dead lol
@@coolkid7377 I am old, but not that old lol :-)
@@Limnodynastes1 lol I didnt mean it like that 😂. I meant dead as inactive on your channel :p
@@coolkid7377 all good. Am now doing some really interesting things with several mudskipper species (including Webbers Mudskipper), so watch this space. Cheers :-)
Just brilliant.
;-)
@@Limnodynastes1 How do you think a substrate mix of crushed aquasoil and crushed clay kitty litter would hold up? I wouldn't have the tidal fature, just shallow pools. I might add a fine sand to this mixture as well, to make it more realistic.
Very nice. Well done.
IM HUNGRY!
Bro yair nyein aung lr
have Mudskippers gills? are they able to "breathe" underwater? do they jump outside water to respire air?
