LFS selling them as "Barracuda" at a glance i thought they were atf but upon closer look, i dont think so.
they go for roughly 4USD each.

anyone care to pitch in on what specie these fish are?

They also claim they eat live food and grow to more than a meter. hmmmm. pardon the crappy pics they are a bit skittish. I'm guessing tarpon but they dont look like the ones i got years ago=/ sooo.. :/

May be Elops machnata cant be sure with the pics. How long are they ?
 
pics are extremely blurry. They don't look like ATFs to me. could be tarpons.
 
Need brackish don't tolerate fresh for long even as juvies. Grow fast my local E. hawaiiensis hit 2 foot in 12 months.
