Ooo nice. Didn't burrow yet? Make sure you have an extremely tight cover

yes, make sure you have a cover, you will not be the first to think you dont need one and find him dead on the floor. all jawfish are jumpers eventually. great fish. make sure you have lots of substrate for him to make lots of burrows in.

sweet looking fish, and please cover the tank up. I lost one withing 24 hours. Little bugger slipped out the tightest spot.

+1 have a cover, mine made it through my 1/4" netting in a spot where it had a tear. Literally made it through that one spot. Crazy fish

wow ken on my laptop the pictures you took of him look like he really to bang out with another fish lol. i c he has hes neon lights on too lol he pimping in your tank lol

the blue spotted is the most skiddest of all the jawfishes. they also take the longest to get acclimated to the tank, so make sure the tank is jump proof or you will have fish jerky!! Good luck.

Just acclamating him, he tried to jump ship not once but twice!!! But i made a trip to good old home depot and made myself a pretty decent mesh cover to keep the little bugger from committing suicide

Looks good! No carpet surfing for you new buddy!! It won't rust will it?

 

[kenconnect]

No its made of fiber glass screen so it will not. The frame is made of alumium .

I really love Jawfish, definitely a fish with a load of personality! Congratz on the purchase. Just curious what size netting did you use?
You would be surprised at the tight spaces these guys can fit through! I had one sneak through netting about a year ago (last jawfish I ever bought) while I was away. Found him dried up in the corner of the room.

Thanks it is very fine no way he can just out ,.. They use it for mosquitoes so no way he can jump

 

[chinatown]

did you get the netting at home depot as well?

 

[kenconnect]

Yeah they had it there.
