The pinnatus batfish is a large predatory fish which needs lots of open swimming space. Feed
carnivore preperations such as plankton, mysis, and brine while the batfish is relativly small,
and krill and silversides as the batfish grows larger. The pinnatus batfish does not adapt
well to captive environments, and special care must be taken to provide it with a
comfortable setting and easy going tankmates.
