The so-called world is big, and there are no surprises. We all know that fish must be inseparable from water. But creatures created by nature shatter this notion. At present, we have found that there are still relatively few fish that can leave the water, and the common ones are mudskippers, roller carp and so on. Today we are going to talk to you about the species of mudskipper. Let's get to know the mudskipper first.
There are many aliases for mudskippers, such as jumping fish and mud monkeys. It is a very peculiar fish in the family Gobies with dorsal eyes. Mudskippers are less agile in the water, but when they reach land, they will rely on their powerful pectoral fins to crawl and can also make short jumps. Landing is one of their most distinctive skills.
In fact, if you have lived in the seaside or quagmire area since childhood, you may have seen mudskippers. They like to crawl around in damp sand or mud. They also burrow and build nests to avoid the sun from drying and dehydrating their skin. The appearance of this fish is actually quite similar to that of gobies, but gobies cannot go ashore, but mudskippers can. General mudskippers are marine fish, and they used to be grilled and eaten with mudskippers, and they were not artificially raised, nor were they excavated for their ornamental value. But now that mudskippers have become a darling of the aquarium world, fate is no longer eaten.
Although mudskippers belong to marine fish, at the same time they are also soda fish, which means that they cannot be raised in sea tanks, and even fresh water can raise them. Soda fish needs to be desalinated in fresh water. In fact, it is just the beginning of the use of seawater rearing, every time the water is changed, mix some fresh water, and slowly completely fade. But if we were to raise and there was no seawater to transition, we could buy the already desalinated mudskippers directly.

The environment for raising mudskippers is mainly based on land and water tanks, and we also need to have a certain water flow. But if it is not a land tank, we can also take a sloping stone and put it in the feeding water to provide them with land. The oxygen in the water is not important to them, but if there is no land, it is necessary to ensure that the oxygen in the water is sufficient.
Mudskippers are particularly capable of jumping, and in the wild they can climb trees, so the feeding environment must be covered or anti-jump nets, otherwise the jumping tank will dry up. Although he is a fish that can leave the water, the premise of leaving the water must be to keep the body moist, and if he is not found after jumping out, he will get a lot of dust and eventually dehydrate and die.

Don't look at the mudskippers with an honest and generous look, they are real carnivorous fish. The food must not be vegetarian, you can feed some black shell shrimp, red worms, freeze-dried shrimp, bread worms, small fish. I recommend putting the feeding place on the shore, and the mudskipper will eat it when it sees it. They are more clumsy in the water, and it is more inconvenient to eat, especially the floating feed, mudskippers are benthic fish, and the water is slightly deeper and cannot be eaten at all.
Mudskippers are more fierce, so they should not be polycultured. They will take the initiative to attack some small fish, even slightly larger fish will not admit it, if it is a crab, he will go up and fight. The consequence of this is nothing more than that the other party is bitten to death by the mudskipper or the mudskipper is eaten by the other party.
Although mudskippers are domestic fish, they also live in the south, so the feeding temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius, or higher than 30 degrees Celsius, which is not good for their growth.
After figuring out the nature of the mudskipper, he will also be very good at raising. Slowly raised, mudskippers will also have interactions, such as getting started eating and so on.
