Ask a question about this product

Blue Spot Jawfish adds personality to the home aquarium as this reef-safe, colorful fish darts in and out of its burrow. Its constant observation of everything around its home is always intriguing to watch.

The most spectacular jawfish, the Bluespotted Jawfish is not as regularly to the trade available as its relatives. They can be kept with docile tankmates. Not aggressive towards other fish species, except those that try to enter its burrow. Can keep more than one in the same tank if aquarium is large. Jawfishes can easily jump from open tanks if frightened. When new to the aquarium turnning off the lights gradually can help to prevent jumping. Also less likely to jump after it has constructed its burrow. Provide with a thick sand bottom, mixed with pieces of shell and rubble to facilitate burrow construction. Males orally incubates its eggs; when they hatch the larvae enter the plankton. This species has spawned in captivity.
Blue Spot Jawfish once established, is fairly hardy and peaceful, except with its own kind and possibly with small ornamental shrimp. More than one should only be introduced in large aquariums where each can establish its own territory. A few inches of soft substrate should be provided to allow the Jawfish to establish its home.
