Jacks:

Jacks are members of the family Carangidae which includes 32 genera and 140 species. They are found in tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, and may be in schools, small groups, or pairs. Jacks are laterally compressed and often silver in color. They are fast swimming carnivorous fish which, in the wild, feed most successfully at dawn and dusk. In the aquarium environment they need a large amount of swimming room.

The diet should consist of prepared meaty foods for carnivores, and live fish such as shrimp, scallops, and marine flesh.
