Bat Fish

When I was coming home from Nam in 69 via Japan I was in the Philippians for a few day's on a layover and I saw them eating clams that today people would die for and when I was on R&R is Sydney thats when i really saw my first marine aquarium then in Japan I saw one in a store had to have one then.. But hey I say Kill it and grill it If it taste good ;D

 

Angelfish make awesome show pieces to the aquarium but similar to batfish, they can find it difficult to acclimitise to aquarium life and food, however do not usually require as much space as the larger, more taller batfish. Which ever path you may choose, good luck!!

 

Well, I was hoping for a nice show piece since I have a small FOWLR tank.

If I find something that catches my eye, I'll do some research and ask again!

 

I just bought a 265 tank with one of these fish in it and has a 10 1/2" span from top fin to bottom fin. It is huge! Been in the tank for 2 1/2 year. Just an FYI as to how big they can get. You can scale this to my hand in the picture.

 

That's pretty big!!!

 

I remember seeing those fish when I went on an overnight dive trip in Australia. Beautiful fish and I found out that they just loooooooooooove crackers

 

Well, just got back from the LFS.....with a Humma and a Heniocus (sp?) along with a huge piece of LR.

I think that should do for awhiile!!!

 

Pictures!!!
