Yes I have seen the posts of the many BSFJs that have died after only a week or less. I have however been keeping an eye on this BS and have not yet seen him act weird he seems quite happy and very active. I am not buying one from an online store (where you don't know what you are getting and fish go through stress that add to causes of death), he has been there 2 weeks and I have asked where he was bought from and was told he was brought here from a supplier in Miami(unsure of supplier). I have not met anyone who can say this LFS sells bad fish. Not much else I can say. I have read plenty and due to the mortality rate (as you state), what difference does it make. If most all are doomed to die, you are either one of the few lucky or not. I am going with my trust in that I have a tank I have setup just for him and will do my best to keep him alive and happy. If he is meant to die of some disease then it will happen, but I can honestly say that there should not be anything dangerous in this tank. From what I have gathered the most know causes of death have been stress from transportation, poor water quality, and parasites already present in their body either as a cause shipping or poor collection methods. Very rare do you hear of a jawfish die from diseases once he has made his humble abode in tank to their liking.
