Apocryptes bato or Mudskipper is a fascinating species known for its amphibious lifestyle. They are semi-terrestrial and spend a significant amount of time on mudflats. Providing an aquarium with ample land areas is crucial for this species to exhibit its natural behaviors. These fish are substantial jumpers, thus a secured lid is essential to prevent escape.
