Most jawfishes, especially when new to your tank, will not come out of their hole if your arm is in the water. I usually just put frozen food in the water with the current taking it near their hole. When they're more used to you, they will start darting farther from their hole to get food
He comes half way out of his hole and attacks the end of my turkey baster. But I still get half my arm wet. I'll try target feed from a further distance to see if he will come further out.
So far he won't eat pellets.
The Kent looks like it would help.

Perhaps a bigger turkey baster? lol I don't know if they come in different sizes but maybe worth checking it out

Alex is right.POS broke down after a while.
Not sure if it's the same ones, but I ordered from BigAl at ReefSanctuary several times, and his stuff is spot on. Think he does it on the side in his garage. Looking at this post, I think BigAl might've found some vendors to carry his product(s).

Bought mine at Pets Warehouse, Sunrise Hwy, Copiague. Paid too much at the time, but I was in a similar situation of needing to feed a fish ASAP.
Good product, but you'll need to drill out the tip if you want to feed larger food with it. I used a drill bit and spun it with just my fingers, the plastic is soft.
For even larger food, it has a tiny extendable spear at the end.
I think AquaHut in Coram also had it, but I'm not 100% sure.
You might also try a clear riser tube, cut to the height of the tank.
Or if you can't find one, re-purpose a vac tube by popping the top off?
Or... make a diner?

Give the jawfish some time. He will come out and get the food by himself. Some of mine dart out from the burrow. While some hover near the surface and waits for the food. Just be patient!

Did you add that after I posted this thread? I swear I checked your site first, as you are my preferred vendor :inlove:

Thanks K :hug:
That item has been on our site for about one month. If you ever need something that you can't find on our site, just shoot me a PM. Normally it's there but under a different category.
Thanks again.
