Meet our little rescue — a juvenile mudskipper (Periophthalmus species) looking for a forever home. Amphibious and full of attitude, this brackish-dwelling fish thrives in shoreline-style setups with access to both land and water.
This mudskipper was rehomed into our care and has recovered well. He’s active, curious, and full of personality. Raised on a mix of live foods, he’s used to being hand-fed and watching the world from his perch.
