Everybody Should Have One by JAMIE HORNBLAD Experience Level: Beginner Posted on 6/28/2008 from OCONTO, WI UNITED STATES Comments: I have two of these little guys in my 55. I also have a few anemones, assorted crabs and snails, and banded serpernt, maroon clown, regal tang, 2 damsels and a neon goby. The jawsfish are my favorites. They love to spit coral at the others when they swim past, they eat like greedy pigs, and my larger one has made friends with the tang. They are the most amusing little creatures. We get much enjoyment out of watching them. They act tough, but really are quite peaceful Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends. Was this review helpful to you?
