Stone's Aquarium just posted on MFK about the grand opening of their new location and had mangrove jacks on their list.

I live in Florida, in salt and brackish waters L. griseus can be caught all the time...can catch some 5 minute from my house ...that's why I say familiar ...I've never seen L. argentinaculatus in person. I understand griseus is not in the hobby for the most part. That's the thing with common names, most guys I know that fish down here call L. griseus mangrove snapper

One of those would look pretty good in my sw pred tank...anybody here ever convert the jacks to salt?
 
I for one have never done it.I got rid of mine before it became a full adult.
 
Jacks can tolerate pretty high salinaty changes as long as its done over a period of about 6-7 hours, like a high tide coming in as it would in the wild. Wont be a problem doin it at all jacks thrive on salt!

Yes as I understand it they are a saltwater fish and the parents either lay eggs in fresh or brackish or the young go into those waters for safety untill they are big enough to fend for themselves in full saltwater.
