Aquarium Information

• Temperament: territorial
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons (280 liters) for a single specimen, larger for groups
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific paludarium or with other mudskipper species of similar size and temperament, provided ample space and hiding spots. Avoid keeping with small, docile fish or invertebrates as they may be preyed upon.
