Jewfish not very active

[midas Blenny KING]

*Sorry everyone I just realized I mis titled it it should be jawfish instead* Hi everyone I am new to reef 2 reef and I have been wondering why my pearly jaw fish is just not active. I see videos of them swimming around and going far out of their caves but mine seems to stay near her cave and not even come out that much at feeding time. She is about a year and a half old and the previous one we had was also similar. Is something wrong or just inactive fish?

Your "jawfish" will typically spend a lot of time in it's cave/lair if it's really happy with it. Whenever I've seen jawfish in my LFS they never (ever) come out of their holes. So I think this is fairly normal. If you want an active fish - get a chromis or anthias.

Thanks, I currently also have 2 green chromis and they are not very active either. They kind of hide together. I don’t think it is my tank I have a Midas blenny that Is very active

Funny you say that. I have green and blue reef chromis and my Midas blenny hates them with a passion he come out and chases them all over my 180 gallon they all go everywhere and hide till he goes back to his hole. I would guess it’s him but who knows

Meanwhile my midas blenny spends nearly 23/7 in his barnacle hotel. The 9 chromis and 2 blennies are pretty much oblivious to one another...

Interesting about the hating with a passion, lol.

Lol, yeah, I remembered there was a fish with the common name “Jewfish”, but I didn’t recall which fish. Had a good laugh when I saw this and remembered it was the Atlantic Goliath Grouper.

Is that a normal jawfish cave? It seems a lot nicer than some others I have seen. (She completely did it herself) she also has about 20 hermit crab shells down in there somewhere

Well it's not like it's not a real thing, it just probably wouldn't fit in his tank. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
