Batfish

These usually deep bodied batfish require at least a two foot deep and wide aquarium. Young batfish are more colourful than adults and once established in their aquarium will grow quickly.

Despite their big size they are not aggressive towards other fishes but avoid species that can nip their elaborate fins. Large batfish can be destructive in a reef aquarium.
