	Mudskipper Feeding
alicat1194 Hobbyist Posts: 78 Kudos: 9 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Jul-2001	Hi All, I'm in the process of setting up a tank for mudskippers, but before I go ahead and get them, I just wanted to double-check on the types of foods that people feed them. So far I've read that they like live crickets, mealworms, brine shrimp, various pellet foods, etc. Is there anything in particular that people out there feed to their mudskippers that they really like? Also, do you think they'd be inclined to eat pond snails? One of my other tanks is infested with the things, so they could be a handy food source. TIA!

I haven't heard of snails but I wouldn't put it past them. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.
