Bluespot Acclimation

[Rook]

Getting a Bluespot Jawfish :D

Any thoughts on quaranteen and aclimation for these? I would normally QT for 4-6 weeks, but due to the burrowing nature I'm not sure that is best. On the otherhand, I'll be ticked if my other fish catch anything.

If you QT make sure they have a sand bed to burrow in or they will stay stressed and try to jump.

I agree with Mike, They need a burrow to be happy.

Well, that would need buying sand or, I guess crush coral would be fine to use in the QT; which ever is less expensive.

Think QT is necessary with these? It's been a long while since I purchased a new fish.

It depends on how well you trust the source, how long the LFS had it and how well they keep there tanks etc... I say you can never be too safe...

Well, I got the little guy yesterday. Pretty cool fish. He is resting in QT right now, I filled a good sized tupperware bowl with sand and placed some live rock in the QT to try and calm him, though he is hiding in the back corner of the tank right now.
