This article is littered with false information and inconsistencies.

• For once, O. rosenblatti is not a mouthbreeder but the males care for the eggs in their burrow. Researchers at the Laboratorio de Biología Experimental in La Paz, Baja California Sur, México found that the male takes "care of eggs in his shelter, but never in his mouth."
• Next, their depth range is reported to be between 5 m and 25 m (this article itself cites 12 m) which is hardly deep water for fish. From my own experience, I know that their feel-good temperature range is from 18 °C to 28 °C, but they tolerate temperatures as low as 16 °C and as high as 30 °C which correlates with the ocean surface temperatures in their range . The Mexican research paper I referenced above states that they kept their specimens at 25 °C.
• BSJ disease is most likely nothing other than ammonia burns from keeping them for too long in sealed bags which was for a long time the preferred storage method at certain wholesalers (personal conversation with Steve Robinson who collected these fish at La Paz, Mexico)
• The AquaNerd source (Better Left in the Ocean – Blue Spot Jawfish BY GUEST WRITER ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 https://aquanerd.com/2009/09/better-left-in-ocean-blue-spot-jawfish.html) is hardly a qualified source: the writer didn't leave a name and the whole thing is rather an opinion piece than an article based on science.
