Blue Spot Jawfish 2.5-4 in. (Opistognathus rosenblatti) NG

Blue Spot Jawfish 2.5-4 in. (Opistognathus rosenblatti) NG
The Blue Spot Jawfish is prized by collectors for its bright colors and limited availability.

The Blue Spot Jawfish are interesting animals with an amusing defense mechanism. When threatened, The Blue Spot Jawfish will open their mouths to comical proportions in an attempt to intimidate.

Jawfish typically reside in burrows that they construct in sandy substrate. They will stuff their mouth with sand and spit it out elsewhere, slowly creating a tunnel. Utilizing the protection of these burrows, these fish will hover feeding on plankton or other small organisms, ready to dart back in at the first sign of danger. They are territorial of the area around their burrows.

Diet should include mysis and brine shrimp, as well as other small chopped frozen seafoods. May accept high quality flake food.
