thanks guys - cheers for taking the time there dougie. It was in one of the LFSs here in the UK that I do photography for. Would have had it myself but didn't have space.

jclipper,

those pics are fantastic, what camera/lens are you working with?

 

[newhere]

Thanks guys. My dusky jawfish change colors so I have seen them look like the one in the pic or they will be a darker brown color. It is fun to see them eat.
