I have been contemplating turning one of my tanks into a mudskipper tank once I get my new tank for a while now. With a bit of thought and planning, setting up a mudskipper tank isn't too involved a process to make it unobtainable for all but the most dedicated aquariasts out there. Mudskippers tend to spend a good majority of their time on land in the home aquarium so ample above water room is a must. Providing several patches of land rather than one big piece can help curb fights over territorial issues. The humidity needs to be fairly high as well so a cover is a must (they are good jumpers anyhow so shouldn't be kept without a cover even if humidity wasn't an issue). If memory serves me correctly mudskippers belong to the goby family. They are able to come out onto land by storing water in their "lungs".
