How to Raise Mudskippers? A Detailed Guide to Breeding Methods and Key Technical Points

The scientific name of the mudskipper is the mudskipper (Periophthalmus), and it has certain economic and food value. So, do you know how to raise mudskippers? Let's take a look!

1. How to Raise Mudskippers

Raising mudskippers requires attention to the nutritional supplementation of feed and auxiliary materials, with timely feeding. Normally, the requirements for water quality are not high, but the entire water environment must be kept basically clean and hygienic.

2. Pest and Predator Control for Mudskippers

① Fish pests: Fish such as sea eels and sand eels will prey on mudskipper fry. A blocking net should be added at each water intake to prevent them from invading the pond.

② Bird pests: Generally, driving away or scaring is used to chase the birds off.

③ Crab pests: Small crabs will invade mudskipper burrows to prey on mudskippers, or mudskippers that stray into crab burrows will also be killed and eaten. Therefore, the surroundings of the pond should be tightly enclosed with plastic boards to prevent crabs from invading. Small crabs in the pond can also be caught and killed at night using lights.

④ Other pests: Although sea snails and polychaetes do not directly harm mudskippers, they compete with mudskippers for diatoms, so efforts should also be made to remove them.
