Spirofucci Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It that four Blue Spotted Jawfish??????? Link to comment
HVani Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 No no no, 4 yellow headed jawfish. Also I went to the LFS today, they just got an incredible shipment of corals in. I went in wanting go maybe get 1 coral but I walked out with 4. I picked up Electric Green Hammer(3 heads) Zoa frag with bright orange and purple zoas Red Plate Monti Green/Blue acro My very first acro, it was thrown in to sweeten the deal so I figured why not. I put it up high and already it's polyps are out so I take that as a good sign. Link to comment
gena Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Everything looks awesome and they sent me a 4th jawfish One has a slightly beat up tail the other 3 look awesome. How awesome are they?????? WOW!!! Wouldn't that be sweet if they formed two bonded pairs???? Link to comment
HVani Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I know!! That would be awesome I tried feeding the jawfish this morning but they didn't eat. They are still freaked out from the trip I imagine. I'm gonna pick up some live brine to try tomorrow. Link to comment
HVani Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Lights are out in the QT tank so no jawfish pictures. They are doing well and eating brine right now. I did take other pictures!

HVani Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 I forgot a picture. The star isn't actually that color it's just sitting under my magenta panorama module. I thought it was a cool picture though Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Your tank has the best theme ever. the colors, the rock work, the placement of everything, even the shells on the sand all work together for a lair. I haven't been on here for a while but it was amazing to see the eel hanging in the dragons mouth. Jawfish pictures are past due though. Link to comment
HVani Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks for the kind words No jawfish pictures though. I had an awful day at work, came home and all 4 jawfish are dead. I try to do thing "right" with QT and I end up killing fish. I'm very frustrated right now. Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'm sorry to hear that, do you know the cause? Ammonia maybe? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Did you give them sand and some cover? Jawfish need to have a burrow or else they freak the hell out. I found that out the hard way a while back. Link to comment
HVani Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 I have been doing daily water changes and siphoning out the bottom. I don't think it was ammonia. They were fine this morning, even ate a few pellets. Then when I got home they were all dead. The live brine are still swimming around without issue. The water felt pretty warm so I wonder if it got too hot. I had the tank set up with a lot of PVC pipe that they were using. They were getting bolder even though it had only been a couple days.

gena Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The tank looks gorgeous!!!!! So sorry about the jawfish I hope the Packers win today. You need some happiness!!!! We all need some happiness. Link to comment
HVani Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 The Packer Game helped a bit I have no idea what happened. I'm thinking about abandoning my jawfish plans. I'm thinking of trying a goby/pistol shrimp air instead. They would be easier to get a bit a hardier. Link to comment
Deleted User 3 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Haven't updated in a bit, things have been nutty First my BSJ died and my clown goby and clownfish contacted ich from it. Since I could not remove all of my fish to treat I did the best I could and treated my clowns(the clown goby died). The clowns got better and were added back to the tank. Since then all fish have been eating well with no sign of disease. After loosing several zoas and palys to my messed up parameters, thing are finally back to normal. I'm considering adding some new coral soon. I ordered an LED light from reefbreedeers, hopefully it will get here soon. Not long after this my dog was diagnosed with cancer. Lucky it was only on her toe so she had it amputated. She's doing well now and is cancer free. Tankwise since things are going well I order some jawfish from K&P aquatics. They will arrive tomorrow. I'm working on getting my QT set up today but it's slow going because I have the stomach flu. So that's where we stand Oh dear! The Packer Game helped a bit +1 Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Very sorry to hear about the jawfish, was excited to see 4 in one tank... Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Very sorry to hear about the jawfish, was excited to see 4 in one tank... This!!!!! Oh crap and wtf!!!! I was so happy for you with the foursome (even though they weren't 4 BSJ's)! Love the new FTS btw! Lol, your tank would look great without any coral and fish! Link to comment
HVani Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'm still so bummed about the jawfish. I've actually been focusing on other projects not related to reef keeping(I'm getting a new pet next month) Link to comment
