Great fish I have one.. I had not seen any for a very long time but the last few weeks a I have seen a few. Pretty Rare but not to expensive. Once settled in they get a nice red head and the rest get much darker. They also do nto seem to be the jumpers allot of jawfish are once settled.

It is only 1.5", so who knows how it could change. I think they get a slight green tint to them as they age. They can turn out really cool like this one:

Queen Triggerfish (Balistes vetula)
A 2 footer with a bad attitude. Quote:
On top of that it is one of the most aggressive with a habit of redecorating his tank to his liking.

I have a pretty decent sized predator tank now with a niger trigger, harlequin tusk, Queen angel, & porcupine puffer.. my last fish is coming out of QT now so I want to get my last fish for the tank, which is going to be a clown trigger. I want a juvenile to hopefully keep him from becoming a serial killer as he gets older. |

All of my fish now are juveniles. The queen angel is the biggest and she's definitely the meanest. Although she's been a lot more mellow lately. I'm hopefully going to be picking up a Humu trigger today. Ever since I went snorkeling in Hawaii and seen those guys swimming all around, I've wanted one. |

Woah.
Has anyone here bought a trio of chromis from DD? How did it turn out? I am starting my Caribbean biotope build, so I am looking to see if I should just get a single blue reef chromis or if I should get a group.

I purchased the Jawfish. Got one from DD a few years ago, still have it. As Shred5 said head gets a pretty red as they mature and get comfortable. The one in my tank is 4/5 inches now. Says the one I just bought is only 2 inches. Going to put it in my 150 with the other. Hope they get along. Have had other jawfish in with him before. So should be fine.

I bought 3 black and white chromis from DD. They ended up as a pair before the 2 week guarantee was up. That pair lived a good 6 years before a heater malfunction took them out :/

Black tangs are awesome, especially when they're large like that pic.
