Hello
Fancy Fish welcome to the forum. Yes it is now Spring and the mudskippers are begining to re-build/repair their burrow (only the male undertakes this activity). I am hoping that the reproductive activity I observed last season continues this season. It is still relativley cool of a night and althoug my tank water is heated (whist in the sump), during the 'low tide phase', the tank cools down (this happens naturally where this species occurs so I have tried to mimic this in their aquarium).
Due to time constraints and work commitiments, I did not attemp to raise of collect any of the hatch larvae from last season. I hope to do so this season, but once again, work commitments vie for most of my time.
As for publishing this material, once sufficient infirmation has been collected, it is hoped that it will be publishable in a peer-reviewed journal. However, in the mean time, people are welcome to follow events on this site. In addition to this thread, other interesting infomration on a host of different species is contained on this site.
The advantage that this site has over a 'reefing magazine' is that it is dymanic, and the people that publish there news on this forum are generally willing to share their information in a way that is both constructive and informative. Please take the time to read other threads on this forum as they are just as interesting as this one.
The best of success to both you and your son.
Cheers, Chris.
