We purchased a jawfish last Sunday and the first 2 days he was perfectly fine. He built his burrow with 3 escape holes, popped out of each one like we’ve all seen on videos but has since been “freaky”. He surfs the glass of the tank will occasionally Bob his head out of the water and won’t stop until we turn off the lights. He only starts doing this when we turn the pumps off to feed. We have treated him with pazipro in case their were some kind of parasites going on but it hasn’t made a difference. There are no other visible signs of illness, he has a bright blue/purple tail yellow head. Any ideas? Ph 8.4 Salinity 1.025 0 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 5-10 Nitrates Temp 78
 
How is it doing? The behavior does not seem insane to me. I have had jawfish explore a lot before settling on one place to nest.

Seems better hanging close to his den but didn’t glass surf this morning
