Diving back in

cowbulls · Jul 2, 2016

I've been out of the hobby for a number of years due to my business travel. I'm about ready to dive back in. The amount of new information is amazing. My current plan is to build a 55-65 gallon reef tank. My favorite fish from the past was a yellow headed jawfish. I'd appreciate some advice on the best fish, corals, inverts and any other items to become roommates with a jawfish. What is the best type and how deep a foundation of rocks and soft substrate should be added? In ancient times, I included a small PVC piece to serve as part of the base tunnel for my jawfish. Is that acceptable? If I introduce them at the same time, will a yellowhead and a blue dot jawfish get along? I tried that once back in time and the results weren't good.

I know that blue dotted jawfish are colder water fish and don't do well in reef tanks because of the warmer temperatures. I am not sure about the yellowheaded jawfish though.
