Yep, they will do fine.
The only time I ever added salt was in case of any injury, mine grew to 50+cm before I lost it due to western power having an unplanned outage without letting anybody know and me not having a UPS set up.
I'm currently growing out another little one in full fresh water.
You'll need a big tank though mate!

6x2x2 is too small mate, my jack was starting to look too big for my 6x2.5x2.5 at 50cm, they are quite a thick explosively powerful fish.
