My Weirdest Pet Fish....

I enjoy keeping brackish tanks, as there are some very unique fish that live in brackish environments, like mudskippers.

I had a mudskipper when I was younger and he was quite the character, I feel like mudskippers are something that used to be really common but are now hard to find

Love the skippers!! And of course Captain, who could resist Cap?!!

first time in years I am motivated to add a tank. I love the African Mudskippers (MS), and have some questions? What size is the aquarium with the African MS, gallonage and dimensions? How much salt do you add per gallon? I would like to duplicate what you have set-up. A lot of the googled articles recommend only one per aquarium, but you have apparently resoved this aggression issue with a lot of them. Did I see a sponge filter buried in there? Thanks for the great video and inspiration

So many neat things to try; so little time and space. Love your vids!❤️

I was lucky enough to photograph mudskippers in a mangrove swamp in Mozambique. Incredible and comical creatures.

❤ your tank set ups with the mud skippers are awsome! What a neat video.

I can't decide which is more adorable, Captain or your Mudskippers!!😅❤

[tropicstankmate]

Very cool creatures! Are they sensitive with the salinity? After seeing you old videos I always want to have mudskippers but I’m not ready to have a brackish tank 😅 Are they high maintenance fish?

[cathyhendrix]

Mudskippers are so cool. I could watch them for hours. Hey do you have a video that shows how to make and maintain brackish water? It would be awesome to have someone demonstrate how to make it and set it up. I do so much better with a visual showing than just trying to follow directions that I don't understand. Please and thank you.

Good environment to grow emmersed anubias. Grow fast and you can rotate them to immersed in other tanks

[ESPNsPeacockbassProfessor]

I get them here at my local bait and tackle we use them for fishing to catch Bass. We usually buy a dozen I might do a vid next time we go lol

[legionaquatics]

They are such funny looking fish 😂 my lfs has Indian mudskippers every once in a while so maybe I could try them some day.

Is there an update on the figure 8 puffer?

[juliajuarez]

Hi, what is the best way to transition your fish to brackish water? Do you slowly add marine salt? Or all of a sudden?

[assiahinarkansas]

Thanks for the update! I really liked the intro too.

[ace_helix]

I plan to have a setup soon with Indian mudskippers, in either a 29g or a 40g breeder. I was wondering if there was any chance they would get along with a figure 8 puffer? I plan on only having 1 brackish tank so I would love to be able to keep a puffer but if not I may have to stick to a goby tank thanks!

Starting a brackish tank for the first time. Currently I have a 90 gal mbuna that is doing well.
Any suggestions or tips on getting this going would be welcomed. So it a 40 bow front and I've mixed cichlid substrate with some playsand, tidal 55 hob filter, small wavemaker, salinity 1.010.
About 2 weeks into cycling, so no fish yet. And still cloudy.
Wife wants a puffer. What are good tank mates?

Thank you. Your videos have helped me in my hobby and are entertaining.

Could Florida Fiddler Crabs and Indian Mud Skippers make compatible tank mates ?

[Vincent-kxze]

Interesting! What attracted you to brackish tanks in the beginning?

[leoo]

Since it’s not full of water what do you use to filter the water ?
