Gnathodon speciosus (Forsskal 1775), the Golden
Trevally, what a beautiful fish! As a juvenile to adulthood this
bold, golden splendor is a sight to behold… all shiny gold
to silver bodied and finned, with an assortment of vertical black
barring. My first memory of this fish is as a boy, snorkeling off
of Southern Japan. A tiny yellow, almost-just-a-dot fish
"leading" just before my mask… like a miniature
pilot! (THE Pilotfish, Naucrates ductor is part of this
family btw). Small juveniles do associate with jellyfish, sharks
and divers, likely for protection. A group here at Quality Marine,
Whlse, LAX. |

Selene brevoortii (Gill 1863), is the Mexican Lookdown.
This and THE Lookdown, Selene vomer make their way into
the trade (the latter through tropical West Atlantic collectors).
This unusual looking (slightly tilted downward, looking at the
bottom) fish does have two things going for it that most Jacks
don't… It doesn't get that big (38 cm., about 15
inches long maximum… aquarium specimens smaller), and
it's not that active (eating, eliminating, breathing,
swimming) a species. At a LA whlsers.

Alectis ciliaris (Bloch 1787), the African
Pompano. Worldwide in tropical seas. To 130 cm. Here in the Lembeh
Strait.
