scored a pearly jawfish!

Today while getting some top-off water at the lfs, i happen to spot one of the tanks filled with 3 pearly jawfish. I thought to myself "holy crap i've been waiting for a jawfish". The night before i put more sand in thinking of getting a jawfish in the future and what do you know i got one . Feel free to post pictures/videos of your jawfishes and jawfish's burrows. Mine has started one but its not very narrow kinda like a sloppy trench he made in a corner:lol:

I've kept them. Nice little fish. Very skittish so be sure no one os pestering them and that the tank is covered well. They should construct a burrow, using loose rubble/shells/etc to reinforce the entrance. They'll constantly be arranging things outside the den and bringing in new pieces of stuff they can use. I had a mated pair that spawned a few times. Mine ate food from the water column that drifted by. They would swim midway up to grab something but always dart back to the burrow. Plankton, mysis, meaty foods..are all good. Mine never ate flake. How deep is your substrate? Do you have a lot of loose stuff in there for the fish to use?

They are a great fish. I'd love to have one but my substrate is only between 1"-2".
