A great Jawfish Blue Dot Goby!
Origin: West Americas

Size info:
Size M: approx. 2.25 - 3.5"

There once was a Jawfish Blue Dot Goby,
With a bright hue that made him quite groovy,
He lives in a burrow,
In the sand, he'll furrow,
And for his babies, he's always so lovey-dovey!

This fish is known for its bright blue dots,
And it's often found in tropical spots,
It's called a jawfish,
And it's quite a dish,
With its big mouth and its burrowing plots.

Opistognathus rosenblatti is quite rare,
But it's a fish that people love to stare,
As it swims in the reef,
It's quite a relief,
To see a creature that's beyond compare.
