Purple Tilefish

Blue spot jawfish are awesome, but are jumpers, so make sure you cover your tank if you get one. Hard to keep it seems as well. My local club bought 10 and out of the 10 I think only a couple survived, and not all jumped.

 

Thats true.

 

i think i will be ok with jumpers as my egg crate lid is pretty secure. As far as hard to keep, is that more to not eating well? And i worry about their survival rate only like 2 or so out of 10 is not very good

 

Everyone that bought these here are accomplished reefers. They took painstaking care to cover the tank. I could see a couple dying out of 10. That's a given. But some managed to find their way out of a mesh cover, the others just .. died. May have been a bad shipment but doubtful. Finicky is more like it. If you get a good one and it doesn't jump, they're awesome to watch. Just hit and miss, and expensive at that.

 

I say get a midas blenny, really cool fish. Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Midas Blenny

 

they have always been my favorite out of jawfish/gobies. How were they with other sand burrowing fish? With them being semi-aggressive i worry about them possibly attacking the wrasse

 

the midas is cute, i like the blue eyeliner

 

Not sure on that one.

 

hmmm maybe i should nix them then, i really wish they were peaceful fish and much hardier i would buy them in an instant, of course once i had the money lol
