Bought this jawfish for my 40-gallon reef tank. It has been active and calm since arrival. No aggression observed, and it blends well with other fish. Easy to spot due to its bright coloration. Feeding is straightforward with small crustaceans and frozen foods.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t stress other inhabitants. I appreciate the clear size information. Tank is now more vibrant with its presence.

Perfect addition to my intermediate reef setup. It’s active but not aggressive. I’ve been feeding it daily with mysis and brine shrimp. It’s grown steadily and looks great in the 35-gallon tank.
