Pearly jawfish colony

[peps_win]

Hoe large of a tank you you need to make a small colony of pearly jawfish (3-5). Is it even recommended to keep them in colonies.

They are social and you can definitely keep several. I want to say two per 24x24 inch space. I read about it in a book I have but exact information I can not recall.

Found it in fenners book. It says 2 feet per but I think that is generalized because it states pearlys live 12 inches apart in the wild.

KPA sells mated pairs and that would be your best bet in a 60 cube. You can sign up for email and get notified when they get a pair in.

no problem. They are an excellent source for fish as you are buying directly from a diver. A lot less stress on those fish.
