Thank you SO MUCH for showing the step by step and product! I'm trying to get ideas for my first paludarium for my bullfrog tadpole, and he has just grown his legs so I had to add some land for him. I've never build a paludarium before, but I have live planted freshwater tanks. I've been scared to try my luck with it, but this looked simple enough!!!
Lots of farenheit made me laugh 😂 thank‘s for that one! Living in austria i just feel the same when it comes to farenheit. I guess i‘ll never get it 😂 Great video! I‘m about to get some mudskippers and your layout inspired me!
found your RUclips channel a couple days ago and I must say you’re by far my favourite RUclipsr to watch! trying to convince my partner to make the hour trip down to your store with me to check it out lol
love this, wish it had come out earlier when I first bought my mudskipper months ago. he's thriving but I am disappointed by the aesthetics of my tank!
Appreciated this video, I just learned about dwarf mudskippers (thought the only option was the giant ones), so now I’m making my 40 gallon into a mudskipper tank! I didn’t really know how to go about making a slope that stays in place before, so this was helpful
I've always wanted some Muddskippers but never knew how to setup up there tank and well thankz to you and love how simple it is but now I have some ideas and with you help have a great way to start out ( using the sponges) simple but AMAZING love it and thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👌👏🏻👏🏻🍻🍻😁😎 give us an update on it in about 6 months
Brilliant video mate! I have been searching everywhere and to no avail yet, no one mentions what kind of lighting/low heat lamp or how to keep air temps just right. Any solutions? Thanks a million!
Air temperature and humidity levels depend greatly on your ambient conditions. But being a tropical to subtropical species for most mudskippers ideally you want the air temperature around the same as the water temperature. Easy way is to use a lid on the aquarium and adjust venting accordingly. A heat lamp would dry out the environment too much. Lighting can be any aquarium spectrum tube/ LED. They only need enough light to hunt food.
Thanks tiger! Oh what type of severum is in your vid? I also keep seeing wild caught Oscars but have never kept them. How aggressive are they compared to a tank raised?
Hey Paul! I have been looking to upgrade my mudskipper tank and this is just perfect. I had one question tho, whats the PPI for the foam? I dont want to get a not too dense one and have the waterfall idea fall through. Cheers
I’ve started slowly with drygoods getting added daily , still a few things to do but click the link in the description of this video to my website then click the Shopify link. Any questions just ask
how much will the cuties sell for when you get more? Do you sell the salt stuff to make the water brackish? I got a really large tank that would be perfect for the skippers!
There’s quite a few inline heaters you can use with a mini canister filter. Otherwise most heaters can be placed horizontal and will work with just a few inches of water.
The big filter pads don’t need cleaning it’s more vacuuming the gravel to remove any solid waste. The big filter pads are just for biological not mechanical. As this tank set up, only has three mud skippers, even though they have recently sold and it’s waiting for more they don’t produce very much waste at all. If it was a bigger setup with more fish producing waste, you could easily just have a sponge just under the substrate where the water goes through first and just clean that part.

Hi mate great video, interested in getting some mudskippers, when will you have some availabile again? Cheers
As soon as they are available on the wholesale lists I’ll get more. Keep watching the new unboxing vids
damn your in Brisbane, going to visit next time im there
Thanks for watching!
Hey Paul! I have been looking to upgrade my mudskipper tank and this is just perfect. I had one question tho, whats the PPI for the foam? I dont want to get a not too dense one and have the waterfall idea fall through. Cheers
I’d guess it’s around 30PPI
Best one in RUclips so far

I need help with the brackish water !!
Ask away!
@@paulstingray how should I properly make my salt water component of the brackish water? What salt? Should I use clarified tap water?
hello paul are u on line sale from shop yet and what does one type in to get there cheers
I’ve started slowly with drygoods getting added daily , still a few things to do but click the link in the description of this video to my website then click the Shopify link. Any questions just ask
Awesome dude
Thanks 🦅
Do they need heating lamps?
Nope, just the water heated between 20-30C
Thank you so much!
how much will the cuties sell for when you get more? Do you sell the salt stuff to make the water brackish?
I got a really large tank that would be perfect for the skippers!
They sell for around $69
It’s a shame only one arrived this time
Hopefully I’ll get more in one of the next orders
I have all the stuff available
Do you have a link to the block foam? 2:18 thanks

I'm having a hard time finding the right heater. All the one need to be fully submerged. What do you recommend?
There’s quite a few inline heaters you can use with a mini canister filter.
Otherwise most heaters can be placed horizontal and will work with just a few inches of water.
Great vid! Joe sent me to you!
Oh lovely 🎉🎉🎉
Hi ,I have one for few weeks know and he start adesterb behaver ,he is flipping for his side ,can you please tell me what is it

Paul dam good job it looks great 👍 👌 🙃🙂🙃🙂👁👁👀👀🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞

What size tank would be accommodating to one or two mudskippers
It depends on the species
But ideally a 90-120cm ( 3-4 foot ) tank would be best for the smaller species
How do you clean the big filter pads?
The big filter pads don’t need cleaning it’s more vacuuming the gravel to remove any solid waste. The big filter pads are just for biological not mechanical. As this tank set up, only has three mud skippers, even though they have recently sold and it’s waiting for more they don’t produce very much waste at all.
If it was a bigger setup with more fish producing waste, you could easily just have a sponge just under the substrate where the water goes through first and just clean that part.
How large will the argentilineatus get?
Around 20cm
I am watching this video in the year 2138 - How much are the filters? - Lol Jokes - Awesome video m8!
😂😂😂😂👁️🐽👁️
Do you have an extra dea how much will be setting up ab enclosure
Sorry?
it is possible to train the mudskipper to sit on your hand?
They will jump on your hand for food once they are settled into a tank
Is it possible to add mangroves?
In a larger setup with better lighting and a deeper substrate it would be super easy and look awesome!
How do you clean the filter ?
Just take the top sponge off and the filter cartridge just slides right out.
Gravel vacuuming around the sponge also needs to be done every couple of weeks
I need help with the brackish water
Ask away!
Interesting

Is they easy to maintain
They are a bit specialised with diet and water quality.
Ok it make noise
What type of water use this guys ?
Brackish/ salt
@@paulstingray thank brother do u know how to prepare ?
Or u have video that show how to prepare
What foam is this and were can I get it
Any filter / pond sponge will work. Most aquariums stock it.
@@paulstingray and for the filter how do yoy always keep taking it out for maintenance
How many does mudskipper produce in a month
Produce what?
How many eggs do mudskipper lays in a month sir
@abosedefreebornekiyekumor9838 not an easy fish to bred. The female lays eggs in a mud tunnel. I’ve never bred them.
what kind of sand??
Most fine sands are fine to use. As long as it’s not sharp.
Mudskippers like to dig.
What type of foam ?
Just normal filter foam for aquarium sumps etc.
