Nice looking jack, I love them at feeding time! Mine starts splashing when he sees prawns now.

Please do show some pics or video of your jack. I love seeing others that people are growing out.

Quick snap as promised, hes starting to gain some size slowly losing the juvenile colourations looks kinda drab at the moment I read they colour up around the 12" mark.

Beautiful...he looks very well looked after. Is he greedy?

Only with prawns or things that moved. Will only eat his fill on pellets I'm about to switch from hikari to nls see how he takes to them.

Plz let me know how he gets on with this attempt on the new diet change.

How's he getting on with his food change? Is he being stubborn?

Haven't quite made the switch yet still finishing off the last of the hikari. I've heard they do really well on Barra pellets as well not sure how the long term would work out though there a long lived fish.
