Don't give up on jawfish, maybe try a different species. I've had both a dusky and a yellowhead and the dusky was much more hardy and readily ate. They also seem to stick to their holes longer before abandoning them. All jawfish are jumpers too, that's how I lost my yellowhead through one little hole in the corner of my lid, I couldn't believe it when it happened. Also, I used to work in a LFS many years ago (my first job out of HS, LOL) and we lost one because I left a lid open...DOH! So if you get another one consider making changes to your tank top.
I'm very interested in the blue spot, might be on my list!
