Never once lost a fish and no diseases ever attacked my fish in three years.

You just have to be really careful, and you can minimize the risk.

Now how come when I do stuff like this I get the RS police all over me??

And, don't listen to Scott. Jose loves you. You know it, and he knows it

Now I wasn't saying not Qting is bad. Even though it should be practiced, many don't, including me. But I was just pointing out your self contradicting passage.

I know that people=food source to fish. But I can believe whatever I want!!!!!

Here are some pictures of the angel and butterfly. I also threw a few in of Jose in his new home. I kinda feel like some people here are mad or irritated with me. I hope this is not the case. I still may add Jose a friend, I just dont want him to feel threatened by another Jawfish. And I know that Jose just wants me to feed him. But by saying he knows me and stuff like that it makes him more like a family member a less like a fish. And I know BSJF are known for being very animated and having amazing little personalities. I dont think Jose is any better than any other jawfish. They are all great. And everyone thinks their own is the best. I just think Jose is unique in the fact that he seems to be much more outgoing than most Jawfish that I have seen. I hope nobody thinks badly of me for any reason, and I am sorry if I have ever offended anyone.

Anyways here are the pics:

This little guy is super curious:

She thinks the camera will get her.

Jose loves all the open water.

Jose is indeed a special fish! That is so cool that he trusts you
