I'm considering stocking a couple jawfish in my 60 cube. My main concern is the DSB needed to support them. I've been told anywhere from 3" to 6" but most seem to think 5" would work well. I've read tons of good and bad regarding DSB's though.
I'm not too worried about the height. It's a 24" tall tank so it's plenty deep enough to support a 5" sand bed. It's the rumors of sulfur bombs that worry me.
I did consider building a jawfish "shelf" along the back wall where the sand would be deeper but the space required to support 2 of them, or even one, would be too much and then there's no guarantee that they'd choose that spot to live anyway.
Just looking for opinions, and even better experiences, with DSB's and yellowheaded jawfish in particular. The plan is for two of the yellowhead jawfish and they'd be the first fish in the tank.
Thanks!
