Feeding Jawfish

[Wes888]

Since he still won't come out the hole, I uses a long feeder to feed him. I tried frozon Mysis Shrimp and Brine Shrimp and he kinda just look at it. When I feed him Formula One Frozen Food, he would swim out the entire body to get to the feeding tube. What is your feeding experience with the Jawfish?

Kind of shy and first, but when they take to the food they really are probably the most fun fish I had to watch. They are an awesome fish. Very fast darting movements.

what kind of jawfish is it?

 

[Wes888]

Can't afford the blue dots. It's a Yellowhead.

All the yellowheads I've feed at the store,tend to wait just above their hole for the food to get right above them.Then they dart up,snag the food,and right back into the hole.

 

[winyfrog]

Thats what I find as well. You just need to make sure the food gets down to their hole. Feed in the opposite side of the tank for your other fish then hurry and feed where he is at.

Mine even liked flake food.

 

[Wes888]

wow! how you manage that?

 

[dcantucson]

:dunno:
It would eat pretty much anything I put in there. Mysis & brine shrimp, pellets, flake. You name it, it eats it. I have a dwarf lionfish that also does the same. :shock:

 

[Wes888]

He is in your 150g or in a separate tank? Mine is so shy and won't come out unless I feed him frozen Formula 1.

 

[dcantucson]

He was in my Red Sea Max. He was a Blue Spotted that went surfing when I had the lid open. :(
