What ere temps in the 30 - 150' depth of their home range?

Thanks Dentoid, That is a cool pic! I hope the Hippo got away unscathed! I checked out the posts recommended & more than a few others. I'm working on a fish list for my tank & like the Blue Spot. Sounds Like a hardy & beautiful addition.

Good luck in the future cracker!

64-68 ° F maximum Craig, I was already diving in the Pacific ... grrrrrrr , I have not long endured despite thick neoprene.

kimoy · 11-10-2007, 07:34 PM

Yip Kimoy you're one of us ~ And I mean that in a good way!

How about starting a thread about your Bluespot?

cracker - Read, read, read, then read some more! Have some fun hanging out with us in the meantime.

Do our warmer tank temps cause environmental stress?

Stress? I do not know Craig, whether the fault stress. With BSJF I have absolutely no experience. But with other cold-water fish I have. As I in another thread wrote, Fish are cold-blooded, they can not adjust other temperatures. The whole metabolism of the fish requires a certain temperature range. Otherwise they get big problems such as the removal of body toxins. The poison they can not segregate, it collects more and more in the body until the animal after a few months slowly dies. These are my experiences with similar fish.

Reminds you. My pair Gobys died because the heating few days was broken and I did not notice. Here was the opposite case, it was not too warm ..... It was too cold. The effects, however, are comparable.

Craig Manoukian · 11-13-2007, 08:35 AM

Heinz, very good observations and it makes sense to me that a 10 degree change in temp from their home range to a tank could lead to the problems we see accrue over a 6 month to one year period.

Has anybody in this thread successfully kept a healthy BSJF for more than a year?

michael_cb_125 · 11-13-2007, 08:39 AM

Im right at seven months, Jose looks as good as even. Fingers crossed.

Craig Manoukian · 11-13-2007, 08:54 AM

Thanks Michael. What is your tank temp?

bluespotjawfish · 11-13-2007, 10:55 PM

I have kept three different ones for over a year. I never tested my water,. My nitrates were well over 200. The temp in the tank was whatever it wanted to be (78-82). I used tap water. I mixed my SW in my sump. The last 6 months I was lucky to squeeze in a WC once a month. Let's just end this list by saying that I did a lot of things wrong! A lot of things I would never do again!

I am a much better mommy now.

I'd like to welcome our newest wannabee ~ ninjataco777 ~ gotta love it~

bluespotjawfish · 11-25-2007, 12:38 PM

ninjataco777 - For now, Scott and I have decided that the club logo is reserved for members who actually own Bluespots. Even Scott and I remove the logo from our signature when we don't have an actual Bluespot in our tank. Keep working on your cube and someday it will be ready for your Blue. Until then, you are in good company as a wannabee!

It has been 3 weeks since I posted my concerns regarding the white patches on the side of my Bluespot. I am happy to report that he seems to be doing great.

He is looking much better. He has moved back to his original home, next to the Redheaded Jawfish. They get along with no issues. He is eating extremely well, so that is always a great sign.
