@@bengreen171 From what I've read, the burrows are quite deep at around 2-3 feet and wouldn't be possible in most home aquariums unless you have a monster tank. Also, mud makes for a very poor viewing experience. 😅
Not about your mudskippers, but I was just wondering have you made any videos on the walstad method aquariums, and if not why? Love your content btw keep up the good work
the reason the third didn't eat is that they all need land. just because they can cling to the side doesn't mean they can survive this way. imagine trying to stand up 24 hours a day - that would be the equivalent. you should either have three landing platforms or better is to have a substantial platform with prominent stone or wood on it to break up line of sight
I didn't get into all the details in the video, but unfortunately the third one came to me already very underweight and was clearly having major health issues. Based on his deportment that I observed compared to the other two healthier mudskippers, I don't believe he would have survived even if there was more landing platforms.
@@GirlTalksFish Even with those issues I don't think that's the case, he was fighting for food as he didn't have any land, mudskipper are quite territorial, and fight over food a lot so that why he wouldn't be able to bulk up. Please add some more land and change substrate.
I know it's been a HOT minute since you posted this video, so I'm not even sure you will see this. But the reason you have large bubbles forming from your sponge filter is because of the salinity in your water :) if it is a true brackish tank between salinities of 1.005-1.009 you definitely will see those larger bubble. It's the same principle of how seafoam is created and how protein skimmers work in saltwater aquariums. Hope this helps!
Generally with mudskippers you need 1/3 to 1/2 land mass normally from side to side sloping into the water or from the back down, you should also include an area where they can dig on land or make pre-made tunnels or put in some pleco tunnels in the land are for them to mimic tunnels they'd have in the wild
@@Guthix198 woah watch out we're in the presence of the King of all knowledge look out everyone he knows more than you all but never let's you know what he knows.... enlighten us all knower?
Irene, I'm glad to see you feeling up to posting new content. Brackish tanks are a unique challenge, but the animals they allow are such interesting creatures. I wish you great luck with the new set up, I have no doubt it will provide learning and enjoyment.
Yeah they def need more land. They're primarily terrestrial. Even when in water they're usually in holes with water pooling in rather than a full on pond.
Anyone else notice at 6:13 with the water change, the right hand side lost all water and one of the fish, not one of the mudskippers, was left flopping on land? I don’t know much about the species, and although the water change was somewhat quick, does anyone know if that species is hardy enough to be out of the the water for a while? Asking in curiosity
I personally would have moved the fish into the area where water remained, but based on how the fish seemed to instantly recover when the water was refilled, it doesn't seem to be a major concern
I used to never quarantine but an ich infestation that wiped out the smaller fish almost overnight in one tank caused me to realize the wisdom of the quarantine tank and taking the time to treat new fish for parasites.
This setup is very interesting considering Tazawa has or had mudskippers..and both if you work for Aquarium Co-op. You should ask him for somw pointers on your set up.
They are adorable!!! This type of hierarchy happened with my African dwarf frogs. Had 3 but the weakest one just wouldn’t eat despite my multiple attempts to hand feed him. Unfortunately he passed away but have had the other two for about a year and a half and they are doing great. Hope you have the same luck with your mud skippers. They are definitely on my aquatic life bucket list.
I had African dwarf frogs and I never had them establish a hierarchy but then again I was hand feeding them for a while like only hand feeding them all
@@shannarafryer3111 yeah I needed them to learn to eat the live food offered and from a dish so when I travel my house sitters will be able to care for them easily. Or maybe it was the fact that I had two males and one female? I’m not sure. Might add another female in the future but don’t want to rock the boat😊 bravo to u for hand feeding them all every time. I’ve heard that some of them will only accept prepared food that way but I’ve been lucky with mine. Mine were bred in captivity and very young when I got them but I think, much like bettas, they all have their own distinct personalities 💙
@@GirlTalksFish hope you do. They are super cute and peaceful. Mine live with a large colony of shrimp which I established first so they’d always have food available just in case. A beautiful and chill male betta and a school of otos in a well planted 20 long with very fine sand. Put aqua soil under the sand in media bags to build up the back, help the plants, and take away the risk of them accidentally consuming unsafe substrate. While not a all of my shrimp make it to adulthood(obviously) enough do to keep the colony going and I’ve never seen my frogs bother the adults. It’s funny sometimes because the adult shrimp don’t seem frightened of them. As a matter of fact they’ll walk right onto them when they are being still waiting to ambush hunt. Occasionally the shrimp will clean up their backs a bit. Looks like they are giving the frogs short massages. lol
Love the video, can't wait for the follow up! My local fish store has been stocking them lately and they've been on the back of my mind... This video may be a sign 😂
Honestly your smart, pretty and have good quality content. Some of the best fish content ive seen on youtube. Such interesting information. I hope things are going ok for you and life if amazing for you and your family.
I absolutely love Aqua Imports. I got my group of African butterfly fish from them and they’ve done absolutely awesome. I’m currently on their waiting list for vampire shrimp.
I’m sorry but this isn’t the right habitat… they need mud and water should only make up about 20% of their habitat. They aren’t good swimmers. They want their head above water.
I think you made the right choice. Years ago, I had bumblebee gobies, hogchoker soles (a.k.a. freshwater flounders), and green spotted puffers. One by one the puffers started eating every other fish in the tank. Don’t know if figure eights would do the same, but I don’t think it’s worth the risk.
In my experience the Aquarium Co-op testing strips aren't that accurate for the Nitrite & Nitrate tests, so you should keep that API Master Test Kit as well, and when you get those readings w/ the strips, do an additional test w/ the drops and compare. I often had zero readings from the drop test even when the strips had turned much darker than what you showed here. I find the strips most useful for water hardness testing and ph so I know when it's time to add more buffer. The skippers are cute, glad it's working out so far :)
Haha, my water is the opposite. Test strips are pretty accurate for nitrite/nitrate/GH, but I have a hard time reading pH on any test strip (Tetra, ACO, etc). I found out that my local water treatment plant uses some specialized lime slurry process to raise the pH while stripping the minerals, so I think that's why I get hard-to-read results.
@@GirlTalksFish I’m not sure what part of Colorado you live in, but where I’m at in the Mead/Longmont area my local water treatment plant just changed the parameters of my tap water. It still comes out at 7.2 pH like before, but there is essentially no KH within the water now. My tanks that I did big water changes on were experiencing extreme pH drops over just 24 hours, going from around 7 to 6 (or possibly lower, my test kit doesn’t go lower). I’ve had to order crushed coral in from aquarium coop, which just arrived today. Aqua imports helped me determine the issue was KH, they’re the best.
I know this has nothing to do with the video, but I have a genuine question... I've got a tank I've had sat up for about 8 months. I decided to use it for neocaridina shrimp a few weeks ago, but I'm having some issues with shrimp dying for no specific reason. Nitrites and nitrates are fine (0 and 5 respectively), ammonia's at 0, PH is a bit high, but the place I got them from has high/alkaline PH as well. I thought it was the copper from my fertlizer at first (it's about 0.0001% of the total mixture), and I haven't seen any planaria. Well, I fished out a "dead" shrimp and put it into one of my observation cups I had out to make sure an apple snail of mine actually died or not (it did, sadly). Nitrites and nitrate both have a positive reading (5 and 40), unsure about ammonia, and the tankwater I havs in there uses the same fertz. Somehow, over the span of a couple hours, the shrimp regained consciousness, and even starting grazing the bit of biofilm on the bottom of the cup. That's where my question comes in... Do you have any idea what's going on? It doesn't make any reasonable sense to me. I'm gonna check in with my local shop as well, 'cause I'm absolutely confused.
i know im 8 months late but it could be minerals! i had the same issue with neos and had to supplement my water with calcium and magnesium. api has a test kit. they make little tablets you can add to the water if it’s that. did you already figure it out?
A plant to be considered planting in a brackish water aquarium , Acrostichum speciosum / Acrostichum aureum , get the smallest size you can and put it in the tank , they can survive with low light but they can also groe to be a monster of a plant but otherwise great plant for animal home
Sounds like there was a bit of a rocky start but here’s hoping they keep doing well! 👍 Also wonder what other weird projects you might try in the future ^w^ You’ve done African cichlids, brackish, maybe one day we’ll see saltwater! ;)
Great video! What level of salinity do you keep your brackish water tank at? What do you use to check your salinity? I use a refractometer--the type you hold up to the light--as that's what we used on board the college Research Vessels when I was a Marine Biology student. I like it, as it's accurate and doesn't need batteries. Take care.
She’s literally explaining how she didn’t know and was learning as she goes. She didn’t anticipate how territorial the first was going to be. It’s s a journey for the rest of us imperfect individuals that aren’t all knowing
I'm looking forward to,maybe in about two weeks,a video on how the new fish infected their tankmates...........which,of course I'm joking about😊Honestly I hope all goes well ,and mudskippers are a cool choice for aquarium fish.🐟
I love your videos! Would you ever consider reviewing people's fish tanks like fishforthought does? I'm sure a lot of people would like you to see their tanks. And also I'm sure it could boost interaction and views too!
That one literal fish out of water from 6:14 to 6:25 ;-; I don't mean to shame but how did you not notice you had a fish flopping around on the exposed substrate? It skipped before I could see if the fish was okay 😭
Oh my goodness, I didn't even notice! I was so panicked about getting the nitrite removed that I was rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off. Luckily the water changed happened fairly quickly so it definitely recovered from the ordeal.
So jelly! They are wonderful ❤ Gobis and mudskippers are too cool 😎 Maybe one day a having a gobi may well be a thing but I somehow doubt mudskippers will be.
I've nvr used any chemicals after the initial setup. I've put a few varieties of house plants at the top to root but other than that nothing. 4 yr tank and no issues. It is freshwater so not sure that helps. Maybe a mangrove shoot or 2 would help?
This is not about mudskippers but I have two fancy goldfish in a 10 gallon tank and I want a 40 gallon because that is the right size, but my mom won’t let me. What should I do?
What do you mean specifically, is it the physical size of the tank she dislikes, or the cost. To the cost issue, you can simply use one of those tough totes from Home Depot, or just get a 40 gal that’s on sale, they can be very affordable
Hi this isn’t about this but my mom got me a Top Fin' Silenstream" PF20 Power Filler and I was wondering if that is a good filter for a axolotl. One person said I should combine a sponge filter to it if I’m worried about the flow but I don’t know how😭💀
yea you threw something off when you changed the tank that’s why that one mudskipper you took back wasn’t doing good by the way where did you get the suction cup decoration thing??
Love the idea of this but the water change scares me. How much preparation is needed for brackish water? Fill from the tap and salt at the same time or have to prepare the water before hand? Love the scape!
I know this is random, but you should get some rice fish! They are extremely easy to keep and breed. They are from Japan and there are lots of color varieties!
In my opinion, and a lot of others they are the best beginner fish, they are just kinda hard to find in the US, if your into them I can recommend you a breeder that has them 😁

I love aqua imports. Have you been to aqua rocks in Commerce City?! Some amazing aquascapes and the best hardscape.
You can keep both in the same tank
I'll stick to fresh water aquariums, thanks! 😂
Can you do a top 10 stem plants?
Very cool

Can you make a video how to mix brackish water and maintaining it?
What happened to Steve? Did you still ask the shop about him?

Black ghost knife still the best oddball
I thought you got mudskippers already from Zenzo at tazawa tanks.

A mudskipper not named Mudkip is a crime!
