I've been eyeing this batfish at my local fish store and I'm totally captivated. They're really cool, I've been itching to get one, but I'm having a tough time finding any decent info on 'em...
managed to dig up some info though, looks like they're fish-only, I reckon...

They need massive tanks, and the pinnate is just stunning but honestly a nightmare to keep, I've heard.

Ben's had experience with them, he'll chime in soon.

Way too large for your setup, mate.

Haven't had personal experience with batfish, but from what I've gathered, they seem to require a pretty specific setup - a 200-gallon non-reef tank, to be exact. Apparently, they can grow up to 24 inches.

Re: about the batfish
some species can hit 24" in height too, so yeah, you're looking at one massive tank.
