    Looking good Jim. Is that a group of duncans in the fourth from last picture? I just got some ducans at the swap, a large head and three smaller ones for $20, a good deal compared to a year ago.


    BTW, it is Amazon Stingrays that sells the Bluespot Jawfish for $59.00. I just picked one up last week; it seems very healthy and is currently in QT. They said they plan to continue selling at that price when ever this same vendor can get them. They are in Troy, not sure if they would ship or not. Bluespots don't ship very well.

    Thanks guys.

    I like the blue spots a lot. But I also don't mind the pearly jaws. I think I am going to get 3-4 of them in my new cube.

    Did some reading and Jawfish tend to fight with same species unless paired or in a large enough tank to have their own section/territory... You May want to look into it prior to getting more than one...

    Yeah, I can have a pair, but not more than that unless you have a large tank; and I beleive that pairing them can be difficult to get the pair to not kill each other. Especially in a smaller tank.

    Preuss Pets has a tank with at least a half dozen pearly jaws hanging out in the sand bed right next to each other. They have been in there for a long time and seem to get along. It's funny to see them all sticking their heads out of their holes like prairie dogs.

    Hey Jim, how do you like the Aquasurf and Tunze 6055 setup? I need to reconfigure my flow in my tank. I have a Tunze 6060 and a maxijet 1200 modified. The 6060 is nice, besides the size of it and the fact that it is difficult to angle it. The maxijet is and old mod kit and it is very noisy, thus it has to go. Plus, with both pumps going I think its too much flow at once.

    So, I may try the Tunze nanos and Aquasurf. Do you know if any other pumps work with the Aquasurf? Or, can you control the tunze's or other pumps with just the AC jr?
