Sexing Jawfish

I've set up a 20 gal tank and put 2 yellowheaded jawfish in there. They seem to get along great (living in the same burrow) but I haven't found much info on sexing them. I would like to try to breed them in the future--I'm not in a hurry though.
If I do end up with a pair--what foods should I be feeding them to get them into breeding shape? I've been feeding them mostly frozen mysis but I also give them cyclopeeze, krill, and bloodworms occasionally.
Any info would be helpful...
Thanks,
Dave

A varied high quality diet is key, and it seems you have a good start on that. The only thing you might want to consider adding is a high quality dry food. Feed them several times a day and you should get breeding activity in fairly short order.
