You every time tikam tikam pair fishes... LOlz... Everytime so lucky too... <_<

No lah..try my best..some fish can differenciate (Eg. scooter blennies, clownfish, pipefish). Jawfish virtually impossible (Just hope for 50% chance). Gobies I'm not sure...for my black fin goby I know the female is the larger one while the smaller one is the male..cause mainly sparing occurs between males...for the yashia I dunno...I just picked very different looking ones..

Anyway..gobies not very aggressive. Even if both male nvm..as long as your tank got space for them to have their own space. ;)

Always something more important than fish.

Chose the healthiest looking specimen..also the most robust. The fish was conditioned more than 24 hours before sale. I conditioned it for more than an hour before introduction into my tank. Nothing was there to bully it as it was the largest specimen in the tank. Appetite was rather commendable...about 7-8 mysis shrimps per feeding. Died 4 days after purchase. About the same as the jawfish I got from lck.

Decided to boycott jawfishes...until the people improve on their capture and shipping methods. <_<

:( . Sorry to hear that . I saw a few at ML...very tempted to get one...but due to the current bioload...decided not to.....

Could it be the territory issue....heard jawfish shouldnt be housed in the same tank. Are they figthing behind the scene?

NOt fighting. They stay at different places in the tank. Even when they came into contact it was only brief, not much aggression shown. The deceased fish does not even look tattered in anyway. It just looks dead...like how one would look after a heart failure or something.

Hmm...........I think there is still a lot to learn about the keeping of such fishes..... :erm:

Hope you will find a better one next round...once a jawfish owner...I'm sure you'll try again :lol:

how about the other one?? I remember you have one more, the one with the blackish head and orange eye brow :eyebrow:

That one is sold to Razo long ago to make space for more yellowhead jaws. My first yellow head jawfish is still doing well. Perhaps one of the lucky few to survive shipment.

Was told that the fish arrived in ice cold water...maybe my recently deceased was suffering from brain freeze or something. Or maybe was just the side effects of possible anaesthetic use. Some collectors in the carribean area are still resorting to anaesthetics.

Had it with jawfishes already...1 will be enough..time for me to move on...have not lost a single fish in many many months..until the jawfish episode... guess it will be back to gobies. The least problematic fish.

Taken from http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marcoll.htm

'Quinaldine and MS222 are used in some parts of the world to narcotize expensive specimens (two western Atlantic Angels often involved, the Rock Beauty, Holacanthus tricolor, and the Queen, H. ciliaris, and I wish they weren’t. The same species coming from farther away from Florida often "do better" (i.e. eat and live) then those that have been juiced by some collectors more northerly. There are folks that would/will argue that "relaxing" especially larger individuals is actually beneficial; it cuts down on trauma and physical thrashing. I don’t agree. There is a definite differential mortality between anesthetized and non-anesthetic collected specimens. The latter often have more torn finnage, but this repairs over time. The former too commonly fail to thrive for unknown reasons.'

Rainfordis IMO are not very hardy compared to other gobies. I had 2...1 died of whitespot and got scavenged while I was in KL....the other one lived thru it..survived till now. Did'nt eat anything I feed. No idea what has it been eating in my tank.

Anyway...could'nt reach my jawfish..decided to leave it inside...here are the remnants of the gentle giant...sad but true.....
