Right

Tank is AWESOME. But hopefully you will ad more drift wood and rocks for the mudskippers to land on when the tide comes in. Mudskippers spend more time out of the water than in. Good job.

the Archerfish was removed many moths ago when it out-grew the tank. It now lives in a 4 x 2.5 x 2.5 food aquarium with plenty of shelter.

Mudskippers can drown. There needs sand above the high water mark with more places for the skippers to stay above the water. I agree with Okiimiru this fish looks like it in distress.

Well if it is dry the burrows will collapse and this is their life in the wild

Can you make a vid detailing how you built it

I have been keeping mudskippers for years, but this is the first tank I have seen that does this flooding, love it! Care to share how you achieved this?

The fish looks like it's in distress when high tide comes. Maybe make the ramp up to the wood dry land so it can slowly crawl away from water if it wants to?

That's awesome dude, thanks for showing us.

It's sad how these fish is expensive everywhere else. I'm from western India and hundreds, if not thousands, of these tiny guys are found skipping everywhere in their natural habitat along the muddy mangrove shores. Open for everyone to take home for their aquarium for free lol

Oh that's a pity. They're native here so for me it seems so unreasonable that people have to pay that much. Here if you walk along shore during a low tide, you have to be careful with every step that you don't step over 3 or 4 of them at once haha They're everywhere skipping and catching tiny baby crabs :D

they’re not even that expensive and if they were any cheaper that would mean that someone found an even more financially rewarding way to steal them from their native habitat that you are lucky enough to live in.

That's one of the coolest tanks ever

the archer fish can reach 30cm so get a bigger tank :D

Nice aquarium man. I'm a little upset, because my LFS owner said that my idea of a mudflat style aquarium (non-tidal) would not work, but now I plan on redoing my tank. The tide system is incredible, great job, and although I'm fairly inexperienced in fishkeeping, and it probably doesn't mean much, I am very impressed.

Very nice. Well done.

I like your design :0

They're so cuuuute

This is amazing

Nice you have a archer fish and a mudskipper!

Ur tank is cool

1:19 jumping time. Nice work with the slope.

Very nice, you've hiven me an idea as I want these with Anableos (4 eyed fish) but you could have had a gap under neath the incline so the fish could swim under neath & use the length of the Aquarium.

Thats awesome! what did you use to get the water to rise and fall?

does the aquarium smell? i'm considering getting mudskippers but if i do i want a similar subtrate as you have, but i heard it smells bad.

How do you control anaerobic bacteria build up in the substrate?

Brilliant. How'd you get the pumps to emulate tidal change?

Hey Limnodynastes1 ! I am really inspired by the way you set up your tank, and within a few months I will probably have a mudskipper tank as well :) I am only left with one question. I am going to use mud from the mudflats of the Wadden Sea in The Netherlands. But, how did you keep your sand/mud from flowing into the water? I know you used some sort of plastig guard or whatnot, but how did you do it? Many thanks!

Im australian and i find archer fish in streams in rainforests off the beach where the water is only slightly salty, hardly brackish

Cool!

How did you accomplish the tide?

i didn't know that having mudskipper as a pet is a thing until i watch this video wow

Can u please tell me exactly what substrate you use and how much it costs. Also how much this whole setup costs

Did it work? have they spawned?

i have questions: Do they need heaters? Can they be held in a 5.5 gallon tank? How much would it cost to set up a mudskipper tank? What do they eat? Are they beginner pets? And do they need salt water? Thank-you!

have Mudskippers gills? are they able to "breathe" underwater? do they jump outside water to respire air?

Is That Ocean/ Salt Water?

How do you set up brackish water..?

What substrate is that? And what do pet mudskippers eat?

if you follow the video through, you will notice that there are branches above high-water mark. This was the first day the fish were in the aquarium, that this is why they look distrressed. These fish have subsequently reproduced in this set-up. I would think that this IS NOT a sign of distress.

How did you get the mud

Ok thank you

How did you build it?

Have you bred them, I heard they burrow like 7 feet down, would be hard to replicate that, but I may be wrong.

What water is this exactly?

when did they spawn? have the babies matured yet?

What do you feed them

OK thank-you

Is that an archerfish

how did the watter change levels?

could i keep a pair of these and an archerfish in a 20 gallon?

I would love to have a mudskipper! how does one go about purchasing them?

they have a pump in a sump hooked to a timer. when the time is right the pump activates and water enters. when the time insup the pump stops and the water overflows back into the sump. what you need is a really big sump tho

Where is the other mudskipper?

in my country its common.... but its nice to breed and kip one as a pet

To tell you the true it dont look so happy go out side dig a hole make it look like something the mud skipper will live in and make a mub fill so the mub skipper will come out the water and be In the mud rolling around like they always do on land and see how the mud skipper react to it new home

do me a favor. give that archerfish some places to hide. you can see he's frightened being in too small of a tank.

Just flooded💀

the plastic guard was places at a 45 degree angle under the sloping face of the bank. The set up of this tank can be found on the link below (without the spaces) thereefuge . com. au / threads / tidal-mudflat - aquarium-mudskippers. 1744 /

yes

there is a sump below the tank that pumps water into the tank above (high tide), when the pump turns off, it drains to the lower level (low tide). Timers control the tide times (ie. the time that the pump turns on and off).

I laughed when the mudskipper kept jumping around the water.

they spawned last season, there is a video on this chanell that shows the recently hatched fry in the burrow. Unfortunately the fry were too small to be collected/raised. I have plans to attempt to raise them in the future using marine rotifers enriched with live phytoplankton.

the archerfish was removed many months ago as it outgrew the aquarium. It was given away to a friend who has a very large, non-tidal system brackish water system.

There is ample informaiton on the net for you to research the answers to these questions. As we live on in geographically distant locations (I am located in Australia and you in Canada), I cannot accuratly answer these questions for your specific location
