Bat fish
 

Hey guys....

I just got a bat fish from the lfs... he isn't eating very good right now and I was wondering if anyone knew what temp I should have the tank at???? I have him in with my 3 seahorses.... They are doing very well... Will try to get a pic posted soon..

Finny

uh, how big of a tank do you have. You do realize batfish get huge right....

From what I have read you may have your work cut out for you. They are apparently very difficult to keep..Soaking food in garlic may help...good luck

I have him in a 35g at the moment but plan on moving them to my 95 once i get the new bigger tank for those ones... the lfs gave me some baby brine to put in and i have added some garlic.... just did a water change so will see what the next few days are like...

I've maintained a tank that has a batfish...now that he's eating it's a great fish (I've named him Franklin) top to bottom he's about 13 inches. Not a word of a lie. He's in a 450 gallon tank built into a bar in a pool room

a 95 is waaaaaaaaay to small. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but you will not be able to keep this fish unless you can get a HUGE tank...trust me. Take it back and get a credit

Will keep that in mind thanks....

this isnt a real thread is it? a bat fish with sea horses?

im sorry to jack this thread, but C'mon randi! you really shud anounce all your tanks!
It seems like ever time i log on your talking bout another amazing tank you have!

this one isn't mine. It belongs to a family in Calgary who travel alot. When they do, I go to their house and make sure everything is in order. Just maintenance
