I dont know if anyone has ever seen anything like this but i thought it was really cute. Went to check on my tank after the lights went out and found my Mandarin and my Jawfish side by side sleeping. The Jawfish is usually terrified of other fish and keeps to himself and his burrow. They are buddies and i had no idea!! sorry its not a great picture. My glass is dirty towards the corners of the tank.

Aww any chance of a clearer photo of the jawfish in daylight
 
Seems like opportunism on mandarin's part? My mandarin hides in a crevice all night... the jawfish just tolerates him? Think they will repeat their sleepover tomorrow night? How big is the tank, maybe they are forced to have a roommate bc they are crammed together like in a Manhattan studio a la 'friends' :P?

there is plenty of room in the 75 gallon for those 2. im going to keep an eye out the next couple nights to see if it is a common occurance. id say if the jawfish didnt want him in there he definitely wouldnt be there. i see him tossing hermits out of his house all the time, just picks them up in his mouth and tosses them. guess thats why hes a jawfish lol
