nice guy


This is the jawfish in my dad's saltwater tank.  It's just one fish, he's right by the surface so you can see his reflection.

So in the tank there are also too tough clown fish that terrorize all the other creatures in the tank.  The jawfish normally makes his home in the sand at the bottom, digging himself a little hole in the sand and then being adorable and popping his head out to look around periodically.  But due to the constant harassment by the clown fish he has now made his home here, against the drain for the filter.  He's literally being sucked up against the grating where he just stays all the time because the clown fish don't bother him there.

It's kinda sad but also kind of funny looking.  I guess the water flowing past him is enough for him to be able to extract air from it because he doesn't seem to be upset or panicked by the situation at all.  He kind of just hangs out there.
