Yellow barred Jawfish Opistognathus Randalli

The Yellow barred Jawfish (Opistognathus randalli) is a small, unique marine fish native to the Indo-Pacific region, ranging from the Red Sea to the Hawaiian Islands. This bottom-dwelling species typically grows to around 4 inches in length. It is known for its ability to quickly burrow into sandy or rubble areas, leaving only its protruding eyes and mouth visible.As a carnivore, the Yellow barred Jawfish feeds on small crustaceans, worms, and other invertebrates by quickly emerging from its burrow to catch prey. In the aquarium, it should be offered a diet of live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and chopped seafood.The Yellow barred Jawfish is generally peaceful but can be territorial towards its own species or similar jawfish. It is best kept singly or in a mated pair in a fish-only or reef-compatible aquarium with plenty of open sandy areas for burrowing. Potential tankmates include peaceful fish like gobies, dartfish, and smaller wrasses that won’t outcompete it for food.This species has a moderate care requirement and is recommended for aquarists with some experience in maintaining stable water parameters. It thrives in well-established tanks with excellent water quality, a temperature range of 72-82°F, pH between 8.1-8.4, and moderate water flow.
