? The mudskipper is a famous fish. Its appearance features are more prominent, and they also have a feature that is different from many other fish species, that is, they can use their skin to assist breathing. From the point of view of living habits and environment, mudskipper is a saltwater fish, which lives in the sea. However, they are not deep-sea fish, but mainly live in coastal areas. From a worldwide perspective, mudskippers live mainly in the Pacific Ocean. Because they are warm-temperate species, they are mainly distributed in warm temperate waters. They often live at the bottom of the sea and inhabit caves at the bottom of the sea.
In addition, some mudskippers live near estuaries, where salt and fresh water meet, and can adapt to this kind of salt and fresh water life. Because they are not freshwater fish, they can not adapt to freshwater environment. Mudskippers are not always in the water. They sometimes move on the beach. This is closely related to their breathing characteristics. It is because they can breathe without gills that they can leave the water. In fact, mudskippers are not as dependent on water as other fish species, and can stay out of the sea for a long time.
in fresh water? As mentioned above, mudskippers belong to saltwater fish and live in shallow seas or estuaries where saltwater and fresh water meet. Overall, the adaptability of mudskippers is good, and they can also leave the water to live on shore for a long time. But because they are not freshwater fish, they are generally unable to survive in freshwater.
In real life, some breeders will breed them as ornamental fish because of their peculiar appearance characteristics. At this time, special attention should be paid not to breed them directly with fresh water. You can buy some special sea salt and mix it into the water to simulate the seawater environment or the brackish water environment, which can make it easier for them to adapt.
