Behavior & Husbandry

Blue Dot Jawfish require a deep sand bed (3–4 inches) to construct and maintain their burrow. They will hover just above their burrow and quickly retreat when threatened.

They are sensitive to stress and require stable water conditions. A secure lid is critical, as they are known to jump, especially during acclimation.

Providing rubble or small shells will help them build and reinforce their burrow.
