Just read the whole thread, awesome read!

It brought back some memories of the jack i once had so i thought i'd share.

 

this was about 5-6 yrs ago but.. bought him at 8-10cm and placed him in a 5' with a toga for a companion. They got along fine for a few month when one morning i found the toga dried up on the floor... (not sure if the jack hassled him). Once the jack was solo i converted the tank into brackish water and then into full salt. He started to thrive once he was in full salt and he grew rapidly to about 35cm+. He was peaceful amongst his tank mates of a snowflake eel and a trigger fish and never looked twice at either of them. I used to feed him live mullet, goldies and whitebait. Had a tank crash due to feeding highly oily sardines when the shop ran out of whitebait and I ended up losing the lot of them. 

 

Sorta makes me feel like getting another one now!

The little jack that they have there is a little ripper though, aggressive little thing and full of beans. Id pay $300 or it in a heartbeat, i'm tempted to sell mine and buy that one to be honest.

Yeah getting bigger but still fairly dull. Just waiting for it to show its adult colours and hoping it'll show some more yellow. It would be around 20cm now.
