Description: The Tiger Jawfish is white-bodied with vertical orange stripes, yellow fins, and a black head. This fish originates from the western Indo-Pacific. A lid is required, as this fish scares easily and are known to jump out of tanks with ease. A thick sandbed of at least 2" is required for them, as they like to dig burrows in the sand. This fish has a great personality and is entertaining to watch as they form and defend their own territory.
