I’m pretty sure my wife doesn’t even know I have a tank, I can put anything in it and she wouldn’t notice!
Mine doesn't notice until she sees the credit card bill... 🤣 🤣😳😬🥸
 
Excuse me but no tank is complete with this, you of all people should know better!

Blue Dot Jawfish
I currently have the pearly and had the blue dot previously. The blue dot was quite beautiful coloring and got to be about 5" long. Was about 3" when I got it so I'm pretty sure it reached its age. Was very friendly. This pearly one is still learning so she hides.

I love the colors on the blue dot that I have seen online

I loved your blue dot! I know they prefer colder water, how do you balance that?

I was just reading that and thinking one might not work in my tank because of it.
 
I had one before but he disappeared 😔
Amanda my scooter blenny disappeared! No trace at all! He's fairly large and one of my oldest fish 😢

they also only live up to 5 years. I think their ideal temp is 72. I don't think any of the pet stores lower their temps though.
 
Oh no! I'm so sorry my friend!
I have no clue either. He's not really a jumper (as you know) but I have tight lid anyways. It's been about four days now....
