I had one in my old tank. They are very similar to the BSJF. In my case, he stayed in the same spot for over 18 months. Luckily, it was in a cave, located in front of the tank. I have had both the BSJF and the Redheaded Jawfish, and I think that they are both great fish. As far as coloration, the BSJF is much prettier (IMO).

thanks for the info. i plan on putting him in a 20L so im sure ill see him. as for color i do agree the bsjf are prettier but a lot of people have them and working at a Saltwater store, i see them a lot.the redheads are something cool and different.
