Jawfish

Can two of those yellowheaded pearly jawfish co-exist in a 24 gallon cube tank with two large pieces of live rock (one on each end) or would the small space most likely cause aggression?

Thanks!

I only have one single experience with this. So, it may or may not be representative of the whole species.

I had two in a 300 gallon tank. That is an 8 foot long tank.

Each set up residence on the opposite ends of the tank. Each time they saw each other near the center of the tank, they fought. I separated them.

I was told not to try two in a 40 breeder.

I have two in an eight foot tank and it works, but both were placed at the same time, and they are different species.

I would think if you could get a mated pair, it could work. That's basically a guess but I'm guessing it's correct.
