I am considering getting a tiger and a yellowheaded jawfish for my 15g tank. Will these two get along or will there be problems?

TIA:)

are you refering to a tiger jawfish? the bali tiger jawfish aka goldspecs jawfish?

i've never tried mixing 2 different jawfish. it probably isn't the best idea, especially since they are both from the Opistognathus genus, but if you were to try i'd add them at the same time. a 6' tank like an AGA 125g tank or larger would be best, along with all the typical jawfish requirements.

why not add 2 of one of the species, and try to get them to pair up? you might be able to witness the jawfish carrying eggs, etc.
