| Funny, I just posted the same question last week. I have a Current 24 Nova and wanted to add a Pearly Jawfish to the tank. I did get one last Saturday. One thng I did right away is go out and get another 20lbs of medium sized sand which gave me about a 5 inch sandbed. I also added a bit of reef rubble. I already had about 40 lbs of LR in the tank. I added him Saturday evening. He acted a bit strange the first day..By tuesday he had started to create his burrow, and now he has a complete tunnel system throught the tank. Today was the first day that we really started to see him come out of his burrow. We were able to see him deep in the burrow throught the week. We were sure to shoot a few pieces of mysis into his burrow so he would eat. Today, as I began to feed the other fish he came right out and began to eat, plenty...He is one heck of an awesome fish..... _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS

| I just bought mine yesterday. He is pretty cool. Thanks for all the advice guys. When I bought him, I had my LFS give me a bag of some crushed up pieces of live rock. I felt bad for taking him out of his home at the LFS, he had such a nice setup. But I put all of the little rubble up front in my tank, hoping that he wont hide behind my live rock castle. Last night, he made a home but when I woke up this morning he was in a completely different spot working on a different shelter. He is really fun to watch. I would suggest getting one in every tank.

| they are cool little guys for sure, i guess my guy likes his hole, cause he only dug one and the hole under the rock leads to some holes in the liverock itself and he spends most of his time in the LR above his hole, my wife thinks hes ugly but i want another one!! |
