if u have corals on sand bed i wouldn't recommend one of these they bury everything!

my favorite fish but you have to make sure the tank is covered 100% cause they jump

Great fish and really nice pics!
I got one from Will a while back and it was great. Sadly one day it went MIA (tank is covered)
Enjoy it though, they are amazing to just watch

guys,
this is the last time i see my jawfish nor photographing him. I found him just 10 mins ago that he was dead on the back of my stand. i have a 1/2" mesh to cover my tank and still he airbone right throught. I currently working on 1/4" mesh. this week is a week of jinx. my mcorsker flasher wrasse airbone earlier in the week and I start working on my 1/4" mesh but still not fast enough to prevent another tragedy I am so sad and sorrow and p!$$ right now.

Sorry to hear, Mine tries to jump constantly. I have 1/4 mesh and hope he doesn't get out.

 

[olivier]

I am bleeding within right now everytime I look at this picture. god, help me. OR Will's Water World HELP ME.

Use a glass top. After mine jumped I never looked back lol.

 

[Imbarrie]

That sucks man.

The next one you will be ready for.

I almost posted earlier to be aware of their amazing jumping abilities, but Manny beat me to it. Sorry to hear, but this is not a new story with this species.

its their persistency in jumping, they dont swim back down and charge up, they continously jump like sprinting. Eventually they can FIND an opening of a mesh lid cause of their persistence.

sorry for your loss! glass top it, dont try mesh again.

I do not see it jump during day time. i mean , i sat there and watch for hours but at night .. god how can it be ? i wonder how many time he try in order to get out of the hole.

i was just on the computer and heard flapping on the floor, mine just got out of 1/4" mesh.... there was a small tear inbetween two of boxes from me moving the cover and he got out of it. hes back in the tank but is breathing rapidly. GLASS TOP IT.

it's really odd, that for so many that I sold, they didn't jump in my holding tanks. But once they get to the customer's home, some would call me and said their fish jumped. I did not have a cover except a 2.5" and 3" euro brace. I am so lucky.

However, when I acclimate them some do like to sprint, so I cover the first bucket and put that in another bigger bucket filled with some water to make sure even in case they jump thru the first cover, they would survive for a while when I am back.

I ve lost 6 of those blue's due to jumping, even when I closed the canopy. Im still very urged to try more but nervous. Id rather not see another fish dye for no reason. To cover my tank with a class top would just mean so much more time for maitenace in cleaning the class , removing the glass to do work in the tank ect

Try window screen it's about 1/16" works for me...(made of nylon so it's safe)
