jawfish

I'm planning my 235 gallon tank and I'd really like to keep a jawfish. Researching them it looks like they need a significant sand bed. I'm planning on crushed coral this time around at about 1.5". I bought 12 -12" arches. If I make a circle out of them or a retaining wall and plug the holes I...

For about two months my yellow watchman goby and my jawfish (who's since passed due to complications involving a bloated stomach) paired up in the same little den. My yellow watchman was never really able to bond with my pistol shrimp while it was around and I'm so happy that both of them were...

I have a blue spot jawfish in my 50 gal lps / softies tank and he lives in this little rock hut we built him and he pokes his head out. Sometimes he gets discoloured on his underside in small patches which we thought was because of him scratching himself on the rocks but this time his entire...

We’ve had bad luck with jumping Jawfish in QT to the tune of $500-600. I’m using a standard 20g tank with a full hood. There’s only a little gap next to the HOB filter and where the HOB flows into the tank if you count that. The first time around I didn’t do anything special, I’ve never had...

Hello all, I am finishing up my cycle for a 34g display tank with a 9g sump for a mixed reef with a section of sand at 4" and a cover. Can anyone let me know if the following stocking list would work and, if so, what order of introduction I should follow? 1. pearly jawfish 2. green clown goby...

Hey guys! I have been wanting to do a dedicated macro algae nano for a while now and am trying to brainstorm a different fish to house in the new tank, as I already have 2 nanos set up each with a pair of clownfish. I absolutely love blue spot jawfish, but have never kept one due to them being...

How should I take care of a blue spot jaw fish? Does anyone have any tiles and tricks for me. How much sand should I have, what should I use to feed it? I don’t have one yet but it’s on my bucket list. One thing I do have concerns about is the temperature the fish has to be at. I heard it has to...

Hi will a coral banded shrimp bother a jaw fish? Cheers

Hi I eventually I want to get a Blue Dotted Jawfish. I've done a ton of research, read of bunch of post on this forum and have watched alot of youtube videos. After all this I'm still a little confused if my fluval 32.5g Flex can support a Blue Dotted Jawfish. I only have 2inch(2 1/2inchies in...

Hi, I have a 75 Gallon Long Tank with 2 Ocellaris Clownfish, a Starry Blenny, a Chalk Bass, 3 Nassarius Snails, and a Blue Hermit. My sandbed depth is not consistent but the depth is 1-5 inches, on average its about 3 inches. My reef tank currently is very peaceful the clownfish do not pay any...

So I’ve heard people say 2”, 3”, 4”, 5”, and even 6”. What’s your opinion and can you explain the reasoning behind it? Thanks in advance, I’m considering a few.

Hello there, I have a 40g reef tank with seahorses, a wheeler goby and YWG (captive bred). The 2 gobies actually live in the same burrow and are inseparable. Really interested in adding a Yellowhead Jawfish. Will there be any aggression? Thank you!

I have a single pearly jawfish that has been doing well for several months now. It lives in a frag rack that I buried in the sand which it has dugout underneath. There are several holes to poke in and out of, and presumably a lot of space underneath (I have a deep sandbed and its a large frag...

I don’t know if this is a common occurrence but I noticed my white ribbon eel and pearly Jawfish sharing a burrow today. They seem to be very comfortable living together. Below is a short video I took. Sorry the tank is not looking it’s cleanest at the moment.

Here are some of the smaller categories we have! We will continue adding larger categories like Blennies, Gobies, Pufferfish, Butterflies, Anthias, Triggerfish, and more. Shop All Saltwater Fish here: https://fishybusinessaquatics.com/fish/

There seems to be a shortage of yellow head jawfish as my LFS can't seem to get them in the last 3 weeks ;Sour and they are hard to find online. Anyone know what's up with that? I did find 1 that was $34 ;Greedy but they are normally $20. It was also from a site I did not see a reason to trust...

I upgraded my tank from a 90g reef ready tank to a custom drilled 120g tank on February 8th. Tank: Aqueon 120g (4'x2'x2') with holes drilled on the right side for a 16" Modular Marine overflow and a hole on the back for a return line. Stand: A friend made a very sturdy and basic wooden stand...

Hello everyone, I have black cap jawfish (Opistognathus randalli) and its not acting all that great. It is sitting in the corner of the tank taking long, big breaths and will sometimes sit with its mouth open for a while. No signs of ich or any physical ailments on its skin. It also ate pretty...
