bangaiicard Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I cant decide between the two fish. Im close to ordering my cuc and need to finalize my stocking list. I was on vivid aquariums and couldn't decide if i want to purchase the bsj or the Yasha. I know both are easy to take care of. the only thing im woried about is the dreaded jawfish spott desease. Has anybody had any experence with the bsj and could give me some input? I already know quite alot about the yasha. It would also be great if some could give their prefrence between the two.

partyinyourhonor Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I would go with the BSJ. I have had one in my tank for five or six months. Easily the best fish I have ever kept. He is really great to watch. Loves to come out and look me over when I approach the tank. Looks killer... Looks really killer under blue LED lights. Eats like a pig... his color, which has always been great, seem to get richer with time/growth. Just a note...for the first day or two he would only take mysis... now he eats anything meaty.

You will pay more for a BSJ, you need a decent sand bed, and survival rate from store to home, isn't great. some of this depends on the size of your tank though Link to comment
Mini-Dude Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I would go for Yasha too. The BS is like $80 and the Yasha is like $30. You also need a large sand bed for BS. Link to comment
forrestp38829 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 If this is your first reef tank, I would suggest going with the Yasha hase also. Much hardier, and way less of an investment, should something go wrong. Link to comment
igotreefermadness Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yasha is more cryptic. Both are beautiful fish. BSJ has a higher mortality rate as dmarmontello said. I cant decide on one over another though lol I'd love having both. I will say from having my flaming prawn goby, that the smaller gobies have a ridiculously small bioload. I NEVER feed my Griessingerie Goby. Granted he's smaller, he lives with a pom pom crab lol. You are going to see more instability from excess food with a BSJ. But that isnt a pressing matter and shouldnt change your decision. And as forrestsp said, those little gobies are hardy as ####. Link to comment
bangaiicard Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 price is not an issue. at vivid, the yasha pistol pair is like 85 and the bsj is 90. im leaning twords the bsj because i am deffonetly ordering from vivid and the two are only 5 bucks apart. in my opinion, the bsj looks cooler too.

Squared Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 yasha. and a cany cane pistol. easily one the most fascinating symbiosis partnerships you can witness in your tank. Link to comment

Mini-Dude Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 They at buetiful thats for sure! Post pics when you get them! Link to comment
bitts Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The Yasha is a great fish. But I'd still vote BSJ. Link to comment
Mini-Dude Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 But he\she has to have a DSB Link to comment
Squared Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 not is you make one of those pvc tubes. but i think the yasha and candy cane pistol is way more interesting that a bsj. Link to comment
