There is also a wonderful resource on Mudskippers at http://www.themudskipper.org/
run by Gianluca Polgar, who was kind enough to point out two mistakes i made in this video:
– At min 1.43-1.49: that is a blenny of the genus Andamia, not a mudskipper.
– Not all mudskippers have fused pelvic fins that are used as suckers
Aside from calling a dolphin a fish – which i actually find kind of funny in context 🙂
