    Sorry for asking such a specific question, but where can I find information on the genus Alticus in captivity? I know that Monterey Bay has them, but how about in Europe?

    No species listed on Zootierliste and I have never seen them on display.

    Ok, thanks. Apparently Tokyo Sea Life Park has them as well. Another similar genus is Andamia, but those are even rarer. It's mudskippers for now, I guess.
