The Bali Tiger Jawfish is active and peaceful in my 40-gallon tank. It doesn’t bother the corals and has adapted well to the environment. I appreciate the clear species information provided.

It’s a good addition to a reef tank. The fish is calm and doesn’t chase other inhabitants. I’ve kept it for three months and it’s still healthy and active.
