:In captivity, freshly imported jacks may need live food to build size during acclimatization, if the fish is wild caught the will generally need [[live food]]. If the fish is farmed it may already be ready to take prepared foods. If your fish is not ready to take prepared food it is common to start by feeding [[river shrimp]]s, small [[feeder fish]] and acclimating it to eating dead items. | :In captivity, freshly imported jacks may need live food to build size during acclimatization, if the fish is wild caught the will generally need [[live food]].
