The online litterature says different things about the stiphdon species, but the IUCN-redlist  state that Rutilaurus lives at at the limits of salt water. So i change between fresh and brackish water every at every water change, to mimic the shifts that the fish have in nature.    ...

Thanks Iliveinazoo and Maurizio. I havent tried to keep different species of mudskippers together have any of you?   I keed Babarus with many diffent other fish, which it is not aggressive towards.

Nice list of fish. Seems like you got a good idea of your new tank mates.   How bout stiphodon rutilaureus, I keep a small school of Rutilaurus in the same salinitys as your want together with archers, f8, atlantic mudskipper, bumblebee goby and dragon goby. They stay on buttom og the tank with...

Do anyone know if the indian and the atlantic mudskipper can be keept together? If the Atlantic mudskipper sees the indian mudskipper as a rival in the tank, the indian mudskupper does stand a chance.

Hey HX67   Thanks for updating us in your amazing plans!   Wow - you really go all the way building your biotope.   What's the salinity going to bee in yoyu biotope? it's probably really low in the north end of the bothnic bay?

Hi    Sounds very interesting. I'm very interested in the baltic sea. So I look foreword to hear about your experiment with a baltic biotope. Have you started to build the tank? have you plans on making tidal water level changes?   Which fish would fit? Pike, Perch or other?    Regards  Mads

Sorry to hear about your skipper! He sounded like a feisty fellow. It's alway tragic when mudskippers goes away because they got so much personality.   I had an accident too with my largest mudskipper. I read an article online that suggested to build borrows from large plumbing tubes, so I build...

Looks like fun to watch. Post some pics of your dragon :)

Hi LotusChan    Sound fun with an aggressive crab. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with crabs. Hope some one else does :)   Regards

Hi Stish    I've got two archers in my Brackish tank with strong current. They do fine in current, and they are even able to stay on the same spot to spit after food, often with success :)   Regards

Awesome! Please take some photos if possible :))

I'm feeding my figure eight puffer shrimps with shell, and it takes a great deal of time to eat the shrimp.

Thanks!! Maurizio. That's a really nice webshop! think I'll order some when the Danish weather allows it :) probably not a good idea below freezin point..
