Pinnatus Batfish

Anybody keep one of these? I just saw one on Divers Den and its absolutely beautiful. I've always been fascinated with batfish, but never had a big enough tank to try one. This fish would be stunning under some blue LEDs :)

How hardy are these fish?

They're offering tank bred batfish so they should do really well for you. Awesome fish indeed

Wow that is a most beautiful fish. I think that would absolutely GLOW under LEDs!

Sweet fish can they be kept in a reef tank, DD says no.

Keep in mind these fish are tank raised, not tank bred. They get very large, and unfortunately lose the orange as adults. Still, an awesome fish IMO.

That is the fish I have always wanted. They are a very delicate fish and need a high tank with open rock work. Very beautiful indeed....

Nice, thanks guys. I've always been fascinated with these guys, especially in this color. That sucks that they lose coloration when they grow up.
