Periophthalmus novemradiatus โ the Dwarf Indian Mudskipper ๐ ๐ชด at Aquarium-Dietzenbach
A fish that lives between two worlds: water and land. This small mudskipper is native to coastal and brackish habitats around the Bay of Bengal and India, where it moves across mudflats, mangroves, and tidal zones.
5 fascinating facts:
It can breathe air as long as its skin and mouth area stay moist.
It uses its strong pectoral fins to โwalkโ and climb over mud and roots.
Its eyes sit high on the head, giving it a wide view above the waterline.
It lives in intertidal zones, moving with the rhythm of the tides.
It stays relatively small, reaching around 10 cm, but shows huge personality.
