I love those Jawfish But I don't have sand..
Thanks Mr. Softy/Pedro.
He sure does move the sand around LoL. He is Mr. Personality though. Jawfish really do have a way about them. Crack me up!

Cute little fish. I do love them.
They stir the sand mostly because they did not fnd the right material to build their nest. Once settled, they don't do that anymore but instead they float vertically in the water column. To help them find the right material, I always give them some coarse sand, some crushed coral and even couple PVC pipes of various sizes and sit them vertically in the cracks of rocks or sink it 3/4 into the sand bed where I can see them easily.

Yea he isn't at all settled in yet that is for sure. He moves daily. I think though he may stick by the rock structure near the clam as there was a bunch of empty snail shells and some larger pieces of rubble/sand near there. Our other jawfish decided to find a home in the back of the tank... couldn't see him at all.. lol
Tito--- yea he put a bit of a dent in the pocket but WWOF had him the cheapest we'd seen anywhere. Also he looks great and is eating terrific, flake, frozen etc the first day forward. I typically don't like to spend anymore than $30 on a fish but he is just so stinkin' cute!!

The ones I had seem smart enough to tell the difference and did not bother the yellow watchman with blue dot too.:tongue1: Of course they would let the watchman to share the bed.
Price have gone down by half since last year so whoeve interested in owning one is not too bad a price to pay these days.
Yes, they can jump. A full cover is required. Check out KathyC's mesh cover for some idea.
