Pearly Jawfish

[shinobi9119]

I was planning on buying a pearly jawfish, but some places say they need 5-7 inches of sand, I have a lil over 3 (the kind of substrate for jawfish mixed with Ls). Some places also say the tiger jawfish only needs 3 inches.
Will a pearly jawfish be fine with 3 inches? Or wuold i have to another type?

i have 4 of them and i just made the back corners of my tank about 6 inches deep of substrate and the rest about 3-4 inches. they seem to be fine with this way.

I had four living in a group in about four inchs with out a problem.
I did however decide to get rid of them after the rock colapsed twice.
If you go for it try to buy them all from the same tank that way they are already familer with each other.

yes all four do well together , actually 3 live in the same burrow.
i purchased them from this site and will be ordering another 6 soon.
there fun to watch and are very amusing creatures.
