save your money. you will put it in and it will be gone. i put 1 blue dot and 3 pearly jaws in and all vanished. i only had one pearly hang out for 8 months.

as long as your tank is tight so that they don't jump out nor went inside the overflow, they are easy.

Hi,they will dig up the entire tank and also are jumpers,awesome looking fish but not without issues

Does any one have any experience with blue spot jawfishes? I just want to know , if they will get along with tiger jawfishes? I read that the blue spotted does not fare well with other jawfishes. Thank you!

To be honest i think most jawfish are better housed either 1 per system or in a pair with mixed species only being possible in quite large systems with alot of subtrate and rubble zones available.

They can be quite agressive, especially to other membes of the same family when arguing over territory.

I have a freind who has a Blue spot in his 400 gallon reef and its fairly well settled, but its a deep tank, and there are a few small rock mounds dotted about with surrounding mixed fine sand and rubble zones that it uses as homes.

Regards

Simon.

You will need rubbles for them. Once they built a nice house, they won't dig anymore. There are not too much of a real estate enterprenuer.

I know they are very hard to come by......I have only seen 1 or 2 in the last 5 years or so. Very unique

They are not that hard to find. You just have to look around alot. They can always be found online, but that is not for everybody.

I meant in actual fish stores not these online stores out of peoples basements and whatnot....... you really don't see them that often pretty cool to see one in front of you
