the real name for this fish is threadfin pompano (alectis Speciosus). I have caught several of these as well as moonfish and lookdown's. They are one of the harder to keep fish in the jack family. Here is a pic of one of them i caught this past summer.

There acualy easer to get to eat then the lookdown's but your tank prem's have to be perfect.

thats way cool.

ive caught opaleye, blennys; kelpfish & other misc. stuff locally but you do need a specific tank for our local stuff in socal.
ive always wanted a baby mako..

im an avid fisher/catcher as well

hey if you can ship we can alway's do a trade with lookdown's if you catch anything that we could use over here. I know baby lookdown's are value of gold over there in cali. That is where i send 80% the the jack's.
