My fireplace insert saltwater fish tank is 20 gallons. And I’m pretty happy with having corals and only a
Pinnatus batfish.
What’s your opinions on this.

Very difficult to feed and adapt to captivity. Tiera better choice and orbic is the easiest
 
Nope. They get way too big. There are captive raised (larval capture) specimens available but need a much larger system.

Edit—If I may ask, what are you looking for in you first fish? . Maybe give us an idea of what you like and we can help narrow the field. when choosing fish a lot of thought needs to go into it. There is tank size, potential tank mates, feeding requirements, skill level, and other things. Better we get a fish you love and have long term success with than one you spend a lot of money on and may lose. Just a thought.
