Charles Miller –
The Lyretail Jawfish is a beautiful addition to my saltwater tank. I installed a secure lid right away because of its jumping tendency. It’s active and adds a lot of visual interest. Only downside is it needs a bit of space to thrive.

Great fish with vibrant colors. I noticed it jumped once, so I made sure the tank has a tight-fitting lid. It’s not aggressive and blends well with other species in the tank.

It’s a nice-looking fish, but I had to keep a close eye on it due to jumping behavior. The tank size is a bit small for its growth potential. Would recommend a larger setup.
