The Silver Banded Dwarf Mudskipper is a fascinating member of the family Gobiidae which like all mudskippers are specially adapted for life outside of the water. Found throughout coastal areas across the Indian Ocean, this species inhabits mangrove swamps and tidal mud flats, often in large groups with a defined social hierarchy. In the wild, they are adept predators that use their modified pectoral fins to hop across land and climb trees to catch insects and small crustaceans but in the aquarium will accept most frozen and freeze dried foods. An ideal aquarium setup for this species would include relatively shallow water with plenty of driftwood or other structure emerging above the waters surface giving them space to climb and form territories. The Silver Banded Dwarf Mudskipper is a primarily coastal species which will do best in moderate to strong brackish water (salinity of 10-20ppt) and should be kept in groups.

A small, true freshwater pufferfish species, the Imitator Dwarf Puffer is extremely similar to the much more well-known Dwarf Pea Puffer (C. travancoricus) but can be distinguished by its pattern of fewer, larger spots and other small morphological differences. It is believed they live alongside Pea Puffers in the wild in mixes shoals in some cases. Like their close relative, their small adult size, inquisitive nature, and interesting group dynamics make them an ideal aquarium fish. A social fish best kept in groups of 5 or more, like all puffers they may nip at the fins of other fish (especially slow moving or long finned species) so tankmates should be chosen with caution. With a preference for relatively soft, slightly acidic water they are a hardy and adaptable species that will generally do well in most aquariums.

The Blue Dragon Mudskipper is a fascinating member of the family Gobiidae which, like all mudskippers, are specially adapted to spend time outside of the water. Found in coastal areas from India to Indonesia, this species inhabits mangrove swamps and tidal mud flats, often in large groups with a defined social hierarchy. In the wild, this unique species actually feeds largely on algal turf and associated small invertebrates, sifting mud through their large mouths to sort out food particles. In the aquarium, they will typically accept a combination of algae-based diets (like Repashy gels) and frozen spirulina brine shrimp and bloodoworms. The Blue Dragon Mudskipper tends to spend more time underwater than most related species and tends to inhabit more lightly brackish areas and occasionally pure freshwater. They will do best with the addition of some marine salt (5-10ppt).

The New Guinea Datnoid or New Guinea Tigerfish (NGT) is a large growing predatory perch found in brackish and fresh waters in Indonesia’s West Papua Province and Papua New Guinea, specifically the Fly River and its tributaries. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of habitat types but are typically found in warm, slow moving stretches of rivers or lakes in areas close to overhanging vegetation. An ambush predator, they tend to hang motionless in the water awaiting smaller fish or invertebrates to swim by, using quick reflexes and a huge protrusible jaw to literally inhale prey items. In the aquarium, they require well-oxygenated water and are sensitive to water quality, so regular water changes are important to keep them thriving. They will tolerate brackish conditions but do not require them to thrive. Tankmates should be chosen carefully as they can eat surprisingly large fish and other more aggressive or very active fish will likely stress them out and potentially cause their distinct pattern of bars to fade.

A popular brackish water aquarium fish, the Mono argenteus or Moony is an extremely widespread fish found throughout the Indo-Pacific region and Africa. This species is amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), Monos will do best in brackish or marine aquariums. Although juvenile Monos can tolerate pure freshwater for a while, they will need to be transferred to a brackish or full marine aquarium later in life. A social fish often found in large aggregations, they do well in groups of 5 or more.
