I have three. The intention was to have four, but one met an early demise. He was badly injured but something unknown, and didn't survive to tell me about it.

My jawfish don't go far from their burrows. At feeding time they will stray maybe 6-8" to grab Mysis, but that's it. They usually hover with their tails 1-2" away from the burrow entrances. Then the Kole tang dive bombs them, and their epic lightening fast reverse gear disappears them. The Kole tang gets a kick out of harassing them. I can always tell when they are hungry because they will poke out of their burrows further, like 2-3" instead. They are really entertaining.
