Now that shows exactly why we love these fish so much.
Just look at the character in that face.
Gotta loce it.

Awesome photos Scott! Such characters, those Bluespots.

Wowsers Scott, I can count nose hairs from here. lol

You have one of the most banana yellow jawfish I think I have seen to date.
Most of the ones I've seen locally are almost orange.

Any idea what the black spot is below the pupil and possible use?
Never noticed it before but with a closeup like that.

Scott, Your Spotty close up shots are incredible. I agree Spotty is one of the most banana yellow BSJF I've seen. My lfs had one that was also that yellow, until it jumped out of their display tank and ended up on their showroom floor.

Have you zoomed in on your pic and looked at the balck spot under his eye? Under 200% magnification, it looks like a hole! I've seen previous pics of Spotty and I've noticed it before. I always thought it was a black spot.

vdituri · 05-30-2008, 01:04 AM

Maybe some kind of second aperture for the pupil?
Maybe it works like the black smudge under football players eyes to help with sun glare.

If you had your picture taken that often you'd develop some "shades" too!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

Victor, I have often wondered about this second "pupil". I does look like an opening. It was not always there however. Here is a blow-up of a picture taken in Jan. '08. It is only on the left eye.

Basser, the yellow color is mainly on Spotty's head, his body is more of a brownish-orange.

Adam, it won't be long before you are enjoying this fish's comical antics. Still getting your tank ready for a BS?

Lynn, personality oozes out of this fish's pores, but you know that!

kathywithbirds · 05-31-2008, 11:01 PM

Nice shots!! I think they check us out more than we sit there watching them sometimes!

Dentoid · 05-31-2008, 11:04 PM

Kathy, that is very true of this fish. In fact, Spotty is a big people watcher! It's fascinating the interest they show in what is going on outside of the tank.

Craig Manoukian · 06-01-2008, 01:18 AM

Another fabulous shot Scott!

BR(barney rubble) does that too. He swims out of the burrow to follow you across the tank. Defenitly my favorite fish.

Love the close up pics Scott. You can see every detail!

plecosword · 06-06-2008, 12:03 AM

Dentoid · 06-06-2008, 08:18 PM
