Jawfish tail

They don't. No fish is known to do that. Loss of a tail, or any other fin, only occurs from physical damage. Be it from another critter or disease, but not simply as stress response.

All I am telling you is what a friend told me when I first met her and her tank with her Jawfish. If you have a day to read a bunch of post and would like to read her story and many others go to The Bluespot Jawfish Club on Reef Sanctuary. If I can't post another club on here please blank it out.

I had 3 tiger jaws-two were lovers and the other was a third wheel. No fighting or anything, the odd jaw just steered clear of the others.

I hope these are the same way.

Well guys, when I was rearranging my rock, I saw something in the sand. Picked it up and I think it was one of my jawfish 
Last time I saw it was on Wednesday and this was picked clean, no skin, just some meat and small bones. I might make a trap to see if there is a hitchhiker because I am not sure what it could be.

Bought some from lfs and some from Mike (thegrun)
A lot will depend on the size of the tank. If there is enough space, they can stay far enough away from each other to coexist. If not, they will fight, generally till one dies.
I will take a look when I at a proper computer. I expect something is being missed, as there no advantage to a fish loosing it's tail as stress response. Such a response would be a substantial disadvantage to survival of the species.
