UPDATE

The Mudskippers have grow slighlty now. One of them (the larger one) is evil, he lives in a cave and he has constructing quite a large burrow out of the soily-mud (I'm pleased I included that now), the burrow is pretty big and he stays in there from time to time. I partly changed the layout so there's another beach at the other end in the hope the other guy might build a burrow.

The less-evil one is very tame now, he clambers onto my hand and I feed him myself. Recently they've been enjoying a diet of mosquito larvae, bloodworm and earthworms. Their colour is pretty good.

I'll try and get some more pics...

No, these guys hold a lot of territory and already the evil one is dominating the tank. It wont be too soon that I will be upgrading to a larger system, perhaps 80Us gallons with plenty of surface area.

i dont remember even seeing one in real life.

Nothing much has happened....

The tank had to be moved to a new location a fortnight ago, so I moved some stuff around in the tank. I also down-graded the filtration (quite a while ago now) to 2 small internal filters as I realised it is only a small amount of water and the Mudskippers are not that bothered by water quality anyway. The external is being used on another tank at present. The water is quite brown due to the amount of bogwood, I also alter the salinity every water change but it's normally at around SG 1.012, it's always humid.

I'll try to get some pics sometime this week when I get time.

Cheers,
Mike
