Feeding a Jack

I just put a jack into one of my tanks---a 75 gal. with an oscar and a convict. I have kept oscars and convicts before, but never a Jack. They are all 1-2 inches, and my question is--would you feed the jack essentially the same food as the others, or is there something else that will bring out his/her colors that differs from the other food? Thanks--love the forum

Females are smaller and not as colorful. Males dorsal fin is longer as well... males have little or no blue on the gill plates while females have alot of blue in that area...as juvies, they are very hard to sex so might have to wait a bit..got some pics for us to see?

mine loves Earth worms and any worm kind of foods but also feeds on pellets.

if you feed to much of worms then after too much he wont eat any more pellets.just make you balance the foods.!!!!
