Brilliant Odyssey - love the Cottus and Tridentiger!

C. bleheri comes from northern India and needs a cool winter period of 3-4 months each year so isn't really a suitable companion for any of those other fishes. It might be more rewarding to keepa pair/small group alone and attempt a breeding project?

Great, great stuff Odyssey. So this Rhinogobius sp. inhabits very cool water?

Fantastic!!! I too would like to know what equipment you're using please Odyssey!

That last fish is Kottelatlimia hipporhynchos I think. Nice!

I want your job Charles...

Well done Farid!!

Please do would be great to feature them. Have already skanked a couple from Mark.

Please make the pics bigger!

Yes can't stress enough how terrestrial these are. If you put food on an elevated piece of wood or something they'll climb up to find it! Very poor swimmers too. 2-3" of water is the most I'd recommend.

I kept a group of P. novemradiatus for several years in a very simple set-up and found them quite easy. Definitely the best mudskipper for home aquaria as they only grow to around 5-6 cm. The main consideration is provision of space for each fish; if there aren't enough exposed areas for individuals...

Fantastic thread Deepak! Can I ask how you guys id'd the S. nilgiriensis? It looks very different to the crimson Schistura imported into the UK...

S. similis? I like these games.

Balitora or Homaloptera sp. for me. Do you know where it's from?

Any idea of origin Neil?
