Thanks everyone. Sounds like getting some locally will not be an impossibility.
I've been wanting to set up a tank with these for years, and recently my daughter has been talking about them a lot, and we are thinking about trying to set up a tank for them at home (maybe along with some fiddler crabs...would be really really incredibly cool!). I'm even considering the idea of trying to set it up with tidal changes (I don't think this would be too hard if the tank was drilled with several bulkheads and was hooked up to a sump)....we'll see.
If this works well, I might try this in the lab as well at some point...students would love a tank like this. We'll see – the thing is it would probably have to be a separate system (thus increasing maintenance issues and further complicating lab tank maintenance... it would be much easier to just hook up another tank rather than maintaining another separate system), since I'm not 100% certain mudskippers can be kept in full-strength seawater. I think maybe some can live in seawater just fine, but in general I think they tend to be brackish fish.
By the way, thanks for the links Borgy. I had actually visited that mudskipper site a few years ago, and even exchanged a few e-mails with the person who set up that site, but I forgot that it had info on companies that sell mudskippers.
