BSJ question

[GeoHawk]

I can get a blue spot jawfish for a great price and am thinking of putting him in my 60 gallon cube. I have always been interested in one of these fish, but price range has kept me from ever making a purchase.
I have a few questions to make sure I want to do it. I have read a few other threads, but wanted specific input.

1.I only have about a 2 1/2 to 3 inch sand bed (I know not ideal) will it work?
2. I dont want a fish that is going to knock my rockwork over all the time like a pistol shrimp, do bsj do this?

Do you have a lid on your tank? They are jumpers... Pretty expensive "Carpet Surfing" fish...

+1 on the cover. Lost one to death by dehydration. Other than that you should be fine.

You sure he died from dehydration, and not lack of oxygen?

One leads to the other. Lack of H2O = Lack of O2. :cry:
