Common name: Jawfish

Opistognathidae, commonly known as jawfish, are a family of small, burrowing marine fish known for their elaborate burrow-building behavior and mouthbrooding habits. They are characterized by their large heads and mouths, which they use to excavate and maintain their sandy homes. Jawfish are generally peaceful and can be kept in community tanks with other non-aggressive species. They require a thick sand bed to mimic their natural environment and are fascinating to observe as they peek out from their burrows. Jawfish are also known for their vibrant colors and patterns, which add a dynamic visual element to the aquarium.
