Jawfish

[sweetrav18]

Hello everyone,

I am thinking about purchasing a jawfish, probably a yellow-headed, if that matters. I just wanted to know if ayone had any experience with one, and if there was any cautionary things or suggestions? Will he eat my cleaner shrimp, long spine urchin, or any starfish? I believe that I have a dep enough sand bed but can always add more. Thanks for any suggestions

Mine never went after anything. It may hide for a few days when first put in the tank. But after that give it time it will be out front and watching you as much as you may watch him. Make sure you have a good cover for the tank. They can jump out. Good luck and good choice.
