Mudskippers In The Uk

[mlawson]

Does anyone know where you can buy mudskippers in the UK?
Im setting up a large mangrove style tank in order to keep mudskippers, but I cant find any local dealers.


thanks,

Mike

Everyone here in Northern Ireland seemed to have them during the summer but I havnt seen any for a while. They may be seasonal but any specialist fish store should be able to get information on them for you.

In the last month I've seen them appear in 2 stores. I too have been hunting for them for some time, so snapped up 5. They weren't cheap mind you...

don't know about the UK... but I was having trouble finding them here in PA, USA... none of my local stores can order them... and one store said he'd ordered about 24 of them to only have one survive the shipment... luckily tho, I walked in my local LFS and found 2 "butterfly" Mudskippers (one 4", one 5") last Friday night... put them on hold for a couple of days to get my 30 gallon brackish mangrove started... picked them up last week and all seems fine... got a small archer in with them... and a few fiddler crabs... boy, do those skippers have an appetite for crickets!

Good luck finding them...

I was gonna try to order some from here originally, til I found them locally...
