Asaki Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Wonder is pinatus platax aka long finned batfish unpopular ? Lolz cuz I realize not many people keep them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouldian Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Thats because they grows way too big for the average aquarium in Singapore and because their adult colors is not as striking.

Asaki Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 oh ok ... Mine still juvenile quite pretty ~~ but the comment of them being hard to keep does not sound really true to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Reefaholic Posted June 9, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted June 9, 2005 So you are referring to those long fin with red strip on the edge? They are indeed beautiful but not hardy. How long have you keep it? Often many will not pass the 3 months mark, due to whatever reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k0407wwl Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Which other fishes do you have in your aquarium? Pinatus batfish may do well sharing with peaceful neighbourhood or likely that their fins may be picked on. The following picture was taken while I was diving in MY.
