M afraid the death of my jawfish will remain a mystery. Hope someone can give me some insight as to what happened because both my LFS and I are completely stumped! Friday morning I noticed that my jawfish was acting weird; laying on his side against a rock; tail partially cover with sand, I blew him with water out of a syringe trying to get him to move- finally he moved and swam to the back of the tank very normally. I figured I just woke him up. He hid back in the rockwork and the next time I saw him(what was left) was today and the hermits had him almost completely consumed.... Btw I bought him last Friday(over 1 week ago).... He was eating fine, I had to spot feed him mysis and brine shrimp because I have two clowns that won't let 1 piece go near him.....
Tested water today:
