A pair of Jawfish???

jrockssvt · 09/12/2007, 07:05 AM

I am adding a yellowheaded jawfish soon and I am curious if is ok to add two at the same time. The tank dimensions are 48lx24w so I think there would be enough room for the two. The reason for adding two is that I have read that it is fun to watch them interact with each other, has anyone had luck with a pair??? If they dont "interact" like I have read I might just stick with one.

I kept two in my 30 until moving them into my 125 recently. The little one will dig a foxhole in the middle of the sand and the big one will fill them back in.

Should I put two different sizes in the tank. I was going to order from liveaquaria.com and they only have one size available. Could I put two of the same size in the aquarium, will they change sex so I dont have two males??
