Mudskipper Care Guide
Scientific Name: Periophthalmus spp.
Common Name: Mudskipper
Tank Size
- Minimum: 40 gallons for one or a small group.

Water Parameters
- Temperature: 75-85°F (24-29°C)
- pH: 7.0-8.0 (neutral to slightly alkaline)
- Salinity: Slightly brackish water (1.005-1.010 specific gravity)
- Filtration: Moderate filtration, with regular water changes (20-30% weekly).
Diet
- Omnivorous: Mudskippers eat a variety of foods, including live or frozen foods (e.g., shrimp, worms), small fish, and some plant matter.
- Feeding: Feed once a day or every other day, offering small portions they can consume in a few minutes.
Tankmates
- Mudskippers should be kept with other mudskippers or peaceful brackish water species. Avoid small fish that may become prey.
Behavior
- Mudskippers are active and spend much of their time on land, jumping, climbing, and interacting with their environment. They may occasionally enter the water to feed or cool off.
