Woohoo! I received a live order from The Reef Shoppe today!
I received the 4 Pearly Jawfish today! I was going to put them in QT for a few weeks so I could deworm them, and get them used to eating from the turkey baster. However, they came in looking VERY healthy and Kelly assured me they were eating well before he sent them, so I decided to put them straight into the tank since the other side of the argument is that Jawfish do notoriously poor in QT due to being easily stressed. I'm hoping I made the right decision.
Two of the Jawfish are happily making burrows already, one is just hiding behind a lone piece of live rock, and the fourth is MIA. The fourth might be in the same burrow as one of the others though since I put two in the same general area. I'm crossing my fingers and stressing out about these fish as I have had poor luck with them in the past. My whole sandbed and part of the rockscape were designed around the Jawfish, so I'm hoping my idea of a good habitat is the same as theirs!
So...that means the True Perc and (hopefully female) Bangaii Cardinal that I also received are in my QT since I didn't want to add 6 fish at the same time. The True Perc is gorgeous, I can't wait to add him.
