Down to 3. Once the eggs showed up, one jawfish started fighting with the mated pair, left his burrow and spent a good week not eating and making burrows all over the tank. I've seen this before in my main tank and I was going to give it a few more days before moving him to the main tank as a last resort, but then I couldn't find him. Decided to check behind the tank on the floor and there it was.

The eggs have been gone for over a week now, nothing happened with them, male probably ate them. So 3 it is for now, those are eating/behaving fine. Nice big tank for 3 small JFs..lol. Will probably add some captive bred Mandarin's to make the wife happy...that shouldnt cause any issues with them.
 
So I believe I have 1 male and 2 females. The male is now carrying what appears to be 2 different sets of egg batches. Can't even fit in his mouth, but they are connected together. Looks ridiculous. Poor guy. I'll post a pic or video later.
