Re: Yellowhead Jawfish, any conflicts?

I keep my eyes peeled for jawfish here and they are hard to find.
The Reef Store on Madison has a dusky, but it didn't seem very active.

My concern would be the yellow watchman goby as they and the jawfish share the same territory. I have a yellow head sleeper goby and am hesistant to add a jawfish at this time. I only have a 55 so I figure they would compete.
LOL, ok ok, I'll talk. Fish Walmart AKA Exotic Aquarium over on Franklin and MLK has one. I couldn't believe it when I found him, really neat looking little guy. I found this thread on a different forum that suggests that shrimp gobies can coexist with jawfish. Actually the jawfish will go in my wife's tank, she only has a Clark's clown and a zebra dartfish in there. I just asked about compatibility with the other fish in case the the jawfish gets picked on by the Clarkii, then I'd put him in my tank with the watchman. By the way, the watchman is only 2", he's small. I just called exotic by the way and they didn't answer so they must be closed, I'll have to be the first one at the door when they open in the morning. Hopefully he's still there (fingers crossed).

Cant tell ya from personal experience.. but maybe this chart i found online will help you out?
Thanks for the chart, I couldn't find shrimp gobies, just gobies and they are compatible but I'm not sure if that counts.

Thanks for your replies everyone, hopefully he'll still be at the LFS in the morning and hopefully he'll do well in my wife's well covered tank. I'll try to remember post some pics if I do get him.
