aquab Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yes Living waters in Tauranga had one but it's long sold now. off the top of my head it was $69. Definately one of the rare and unusual!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 there are many species of mudskippers and they have different requirements. Some species are the 'typical' ones that spend lots of time out of the water, while others are found up in rivermouths. These latter ones can live for periods in freshwater (but not permanently) but are also largely aquatic, rarely coming out of the water. The only mudskippers I've seen in Chch shops were the mainly-aquatic ones, which are really more like regular gobies than the mudskippers you probably have in mind.

aae1 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I used to have a couple in a brackish water tank back in Auckland. like previously mentioned though, dont put them with puffers cause they wont last long. Havn't seen much in the way of them lately but holywood fish farm used to get them in. Im pretty sure they were around the $50 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 the only mudskipper now on the import list is the Atlantic mudskipper Periophthalmus barbarus, which is a 'typical' species in that it is out of water a lot. Don't know if its actually likely to be imported though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
