suphew Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 The temperature (topical or cold water) would depend on the biotype you were type to replicate. Estuary is a pretty broad term http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estuary With regards rockpools, you would need a pretty sizable tank, maybe a single rockpool would be a better target.

fishbreeder Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 my idea of estuary would be a tank with land for crabs to get out on and have like a low and high tide. one rock pool would be cool, how would i do that though?

lmsmith Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Oooohhh. Mudskippers are great. You need Stella, she's one of the other go-to's on natives. She's got/had mudskippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
