Blue-spot jawfish keepers, please post

After much reading I'm going to slowly drop the tank to 74/75 an see what happens. I have nothing to loose at this point.

People who have kept them for over a year- I wonder what temp their tank was at...???

I'm between 77 and 78 degrees.
I just don't get how they go from great at LFS, great for a little over a week to all of a sudden crash and burn.

Every time he looks out from in-between the rock it gives me hope...like he is now.

Lets see if he make another night.... ::sigh::

How long did yours survive once you started noticing signs?

I agree... it's very strange how healthy they can look and act one day, and then take a turn for the worse the next. It gives a false sense that maybe "this one" will be the exception.

I started noticing minor signs several weeks before he died. Once he really started to go downhill, he hung on for only a few days.

Good luck with your guy, and let us know if dropping the water temperature helped at all!

Thanks! I'll keep you posted

I've only had mine for a month but he's already made a friend. So maybe it will detour him from jumping.

Sorry for the Bad picture.

Beautiful!

Where did you get him from? LFS or did you order online?
If my little guy doesn't make it I'd really like to try another BSJ or even a different species of Jawfish.

Thanks.

LFS, he had been their for about a month according to the owner.

Anyone have any success stories? I'd like to get one of these guys eventually.
