Mangrove Jack Lutjanus Argentimaculatus 10cm

Overview: The Mangrove Jack, prized for its striking appearance and spirited nature, is a stunning addition to any aquarium. With its vibrant red body adorned with silver spots, this species captivates enthusiasts seeking a visually stunning centerpiece fish.

Origin: Found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, particularly around mangrove estuaries, these fish are accustomed to brackish waters and thrive in a marine setup.

Feeding: Mangrove Jacks are carnivorous and relish a diet of varied meaty foods. They eagerly consume high-quality pellets, flakes, frozen or live foods like shrimp, mussels, and small fish.

Tank Mates: Best kept with fish of similar size and temperament. Compatible tank mates include other robust and non-aggressive species such as larger wrasses, tangs, or groupers. Avoid smaller or timid fish as they might become targets of aggression.

Aggression: Known for their territorial behavior, Mangrove Jacks can be aggressive, especially when establishing their territory or during breeding. Provide ample space and hiding spots to mitigate aggression.

Experience Level: Intermediate to experienced aquarists are recommended due to their territorial nature and specific water requirements.

Water Parameters: Maintain a stable environment with temperatures ranging from 72°F to 82°F (22°C to 28°C), pH between 8.0 and 8.4, and a specific gravity of 1.020 to 1.025. Regular water changes and a well-established filtration system are crucial for their health.
