:i havea mud skipper and i bought him from a really good fish store. he is a freshwater mud skipper.
Jamie, I'm not sure whether any mudskipper can truly be considered freshwater - I think you should put some salt in the water - maybe use 1/3 strength seawater.
:i was told to feed him bloodworms but he doesnt seem to wanna eat them.
Bloodworms are a good food for mudskipper, but should NOT be fed exclusively. He may not be eating if he is in an improperly set up tank. Is there land and water area? Is the air warm and humid? Does he have no troublesome tankmates?
: i dont know what to do what else can i feed him ?
Blackworms (which are good when "training" the fish to captivity), thawed frozen marine diet, gel diet, small bits of seafood, good quality flakes.
How do u find out the sex?
You don't find it out by external inspection.
Best wishes,
