Blue spotted jawfish. What's your thoughts?

Been doing a lot of reading. Seems everyone says they dont live long. I know they are jumpers and will get out of any hole. I was thinking about putting one in my 29 gallon biocube. It's 100 percent closed. So I dont think he will be able to escape. I wanted to know if anyone has kept one for a long period of time. I also read they like cooler water 68 to 74. Also has anyone had a problem feeding theirs?

They like deep sand or small gravel bed. Very aggressive towards it's kind. Tried breeding but they like to kill each other. Never had one for very long.

Thanks guys. Your the first person to say you had one for a year. Seems must people can only keep them for. 6 months at the most.

29 gallon is way to small, also will any hermit crabs you have
