are you sure thats a mangrove jack, if so is it wild caught and if it is they get to 80cm-100cm

Not much is the best answer. salmontails maybe.

Most juvenile MJ look like that.

My advice...do not keep them with ANYTHING...they will destroy it.

You might be able to keep them with tank mates while juvie though.

Yeah they look nice when they are juvies wish they would keep their colour when they get older.
So pretty much like murray cods keep by it self? spew he might have to go we'll see how it goes....

How big a tank do you have?? It should be atleast a 6x2x2 and really needs to be alot bigger. You should try things that are completely different. Catfish would be the best thing to try, a big eel maybe, and thats probs about it.

Ask JDMAN, he had one for awhile. Apparently they are mean as hell itself.

Mine would not let anything live in the same tank with him. Those teeth they have can inflict some serious damage. They are such cool fish, but do require a large tank to themselves.

It was an awesome fish though!
