my mate had a mangrove jack in his tank...absolutely stunning fish looked even better because my mate was using special light globes.
He was keeping it with saratogas.

From what I understand Mangrove Jacks move into brackish/ salt water when they get older. Do you have to change the water conditions as the fish grows?

You might be right the alec ive never kept them up to that size but have been told by others that theyve kept them in full fresh but IMO i also think that'd better to add salt.
i've seen them in vebas before but they havent had them for quite a while.
I brought some from over East months ago you should of got me then havent seen any around recently, good luck.
