@2 columbians I got them from a store that had them in pure freshwater. I was kinda hesitant as I knew that jacks are saltwater fishes because we fish for them when we go fishing. The owner then showed me 3 adult specimens he had in his upstairs office which he had for more than a year. He took pics of it from when it was small up to now.

@oddball oh ok. Thanks for the info. would you happen to know at how big would they need the increased salinity? need to do more research on these fishes...

No idea on exact size to salinity requirements. I've seen up to 2" shoals in FW regions of deltas, 4" specimens in estuaries, and over 4" in brackish to marine conditions. In all of the dives I've made around PI, I've never seen large trevally (foot+) near FW outlets. BTW, this species grows to around the 4 foot mark. Little smaller than the golden trevally but, not by much.
