but they seem to make an excellent dinner choice for the Jack.

Had 2 redclaw crays in with the mangrove jack when I first got him one was about the same length as the Jack the other a bit smaller. The bigger one seemed to be able to hold its own and chase the Jack out of it's hiding spot if the Jack got too close. Awoke one morning to bits of a cray in the tank and thought that the bigger one ate the smaller one untill a few days later the bigger one suffered the same fate.
 
Mangrove jacks probably would make a crayfish dinner, they are pretty awesome carnivorous fish. Got any pics of the guy?
