mangrove jack

Yeah he's going really well in my pond. He's grown a lot and likes hanging out with my Barra.

Here's a little underwater video I took the other day too (I also put it up in the Pond section with a few details of the pond)

very nice, are they a species of bass? how big do they get? they are mega expensive here in the uk and rare too boot...

They are related to the groupers and snappers and in the wild they eventually move into saltwater.I have seen them jump up in price here in this country too with small ones going for sixty bucks or better...years ago they were barely twenty dollars each.How much are they going for in your area?

 

[justarn]

seen them last year for 50 quid at 2 inch or at 150 for 6 inch!

 

[justarn]

just read they get 4foot, really are needing a pond for these bad boys then! dam!
