This type of fish is very territorial and will raise up it's back fin and defend itself on land from other Mudskipper fish. This Freshwater Fish can stay out of the water for up to 22-60 hours as long as it keeps its body moist.

Mudskippers are unusual fish that like to live in mangrove habitats, because they spend a lot of their time out of the water. They can breathe by holding water in their mouths and gills, and by staying damp they can also breathe through their skin. Their eyes are on top of their heads, so they can spot predators and prey from a long distance away. Their dull colours help them blend in well with their surroundings.
