1. Container: If you want to raise mudskippers in a fish tank, it is best to raise them alone. It is not advisable to raise them together with other fish species. You can spread some fine sand or place some pebbles at the bottom of the fish tank. Try not to plant other plants, as these plants can easily scratch the mudskipper and are not suitable. In addition, another important thing to note is that the fish tank needs to be covered with a cover, because mudskippers have relatively strong jumping ability.
2. Feeding: Mudskippers are carnivorous fish, so the food given to them should mainly be animals. Specifically, there are many types, such as mealworms, small fish, nematodes, etc. They can also eat some pork or chicken at home.
3. Water quality: Mudskippers live in shallow seas, so it is best not to breed them directly in fresh water, otherwise their lifespan will be shortened. Buy sea salt specifically for fish and add an appropriate amount to the water.
4. Change the water: Mudskippers do not have particularly high requirements for the water environment, so as long as the water is not dirty, it is fine. During the breeding process, you can regularly observe the status of the water quality, and replace part of the water in time if it is found to be dirty.
5. Oxygenation: There should not be too many mudskippers cultured in the fish tank, otherwise there will be insufficient oxygen. In order to prevent this phenomenon from occurring, it is best to prepare oxygen pumps and other tools to replenish oxygen, and replenish them with oxygen appropriately.
