I added a Pearly Jawfish to my 30-gallon reef tank and it has been very calm and active. It doesn’t bother the corals and seems to enjoy the environment. The size is within the expected range and it looks healthy after a few weeks.

The fish arrived quickly and was in good condition. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase other fish. I’m happy with the size and the fact that it’s reef-safe. A good choice for intermediate reef keepers.

After a month, the jawfish has settled into its corner and is active during the day. It doesn’t eat much but stays in one area. The tank size is sufficient and the fish appears healthy.
