Got some Trevally

Just a little observation.
There are two GT that seemed to nearly double the rest of the group. One seems to have been isolated for the most part hanging out by itself under the driftwood but will join in the feeding frenzy of course. The second larger one seems to stick with the group for the most part but chases the smaller ones if they get too close. No fin nipping yet, but definitely flaring and mouths open. The grouper keeps to itself and the mangrove jack has become very brave and self assure. It explores non stop and jumps into the feeding frenzy of the GT unafraid until it gets body slammed by the bigger one's lol.

Nothing really new. Just added gravel to make it look better.

Tank is pretty much crystal clear but I definitely need better lighting.
So far what I have noticed is the grouper sits in the rockwork or on one of the branches just waiting for food, almost like a blenny or a hawk fish. The mangrove jack patrols the entire tank all day and even swims with the GTs occasionally and the GTs just swim aimlessly looking for food. Literally never stop swimming and never full.
Won't be posting until end of the year as I will be out of the country. But enjoy!

So awesome! How long are you planning to keep them? They get over a 100lbs! I know of two places where they have big boys in captivity but they are in ponds (besides the aquariums round here). Some monsters swimming with koi in one system, and another with a hodge podge of saltwater fishes.

Amazing, haven't seen someone keep these since Ken sadly swapped his group for Dorados. Just a word of warning, if the mangrove jack can keep up with the growth rate of the GTs it is going to be doing some ass whooping in the future.

Love these fish, so fast and aggressive...

Cool fish, I never really thought much of brackish water fish.

Very impressive tank set up. Any chance at a video of them feeding?

Best I can do is a gif as I am too lazy to upload to YouTube

Getting bigger and more confident.
Going to change out the gravel for sand or at least mix. They are leaving behind so much waste after feeding I have to do a water change 2x a week (40%) but cant complain lol
