Hey there ive been looking into setting up a mudskipper tank, ive got a tank picked out and all of the equipment i will need but i cant find anywhere to buy them... Ive tried both of my lfs, and they cant get them in(They arent the greatest), and ive tried online but cant seem to find them and ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I too am in the same boat. I'm looking for a trio of indian mudskippers but can't find anywhere that sells them, which is a real nuisance.

See if you can get them ordered in?

Just make sure you don't buy any Boleophthalmus spp. mudskippers. These are, I am reliably informed, virtually impossible to keep alive in aquaria because they feed only on a certain type of algae.

In the US, someplace like Frank's Farm might be a place to start. He has a good reputation among goby enthusiasts, and does make an effort to correctly to identify stock before putting them on sale. The same cannot be said for majority of aquarium shops, which basically sell everything as "mudskipper" leaving you to figure out which species it is (and how big it gets!).
