Ok well if any one remembers i posted before about my friend getting a mudskipper because she thought it was cool looking. Well it has been doing fine for the past weeks she has had it, it been eatting, and swimming and jummping. She keeps the tank clean and all but for the past week she told me it's been acting funny, like some times when it jumps into the water to swim away it start to shake some and roll on it's side and shake more for a few secs than it gets up and just sits steel for a while, and she tells me when he's just sitting around some times he moves his tail alot like a flinching way, i went over there the other day to take a look and yep she was right about what she told me, it's strange, i dont' know my self what's going on so i hope some one on here can help out some.

normally if there was another mudskipper in the tank I'd say it might be doing a territorial display but you said it was a lone occupant... hmm... better watch over it and observe it closely for several days more if it shows signs of illness. Does your friend do regular water changes with brackish water?

Could be something toxic in the water,and it could also be a Parasite.We'd have to know a bit more to help her out.

hmmm, well she said she does a water change every few days, and ya it's the only mudskipper in the tank.



and little change subject here:

i know i might need to just make a new thred but i just wanted to ask something about my pipe fish, he this morning is not doing good, he was fine the past months, he was eatting swimming and doing fine, till this morning, he is upside down but breathing... i dont' now what happen, maybe to much food?

well... maybe your pipefish is just naturally short-lived. You say he had been fine for the past months and I assume you just carried the same regimen of maintenance as you usually did?

Well i just cycled the take 2 days ago. He ate last night but you know i did notice him being a little slow last night, maybe he was all ready old when i got him. I don't know. The person that gave it to me did not know much at all about it.
