I now am the owner of a tiger jawfish and have had him for a little over two weeks. I wanted to know if anyone out there has had a jawfish do what mine is doing. I was prepared to not see him all of the time and that he would dig up like half of my sandbed before he found a burrow that he likes.
But I was not prepared to find him curled up like a cat in a small divet that he has made in the corner of the open sand. He has a burrow that he is in and protecting all day when the lights are on. But almost every morning I can count on him to be curled up in the corner or in a large hole in a rock in the front of the tank. Is this "normal"? I know that our fish don't always exhibit "normal" behavior in our tanks, but this seems really strange.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
