I know this is an old thread but wondering if any of you still have the Jawfish? Been hearing lifespans shortened when water temp is in the high 70s and most don’t make it a year.No issues at 77 degrees. It is possible that he/she looked a bit paler at 84 degrees, but still ate like the piggy he is.
Thanks for the response that’s unfortunate. I just acquired one from my LFS. I live in San Diego my tank during the summer reaches a temperature of 77 when it gets hot but most of the time it stays between 72-74 during all the other seasons.My experience is that above 75 degrees they live significantly shorter lives. It is a rarity to hear of them making it over a year in those temps, oftentimes even shorter.
Whereas any other jawfish species I've kept for 4-5years.
