A surprsing and welcome new addition into the hobby today are tank raised Pinnatus Batfish. Like mandarins, they are another of the beautiful species known to have low survival rates, and these tank raised fish will allow knowledged hobbyists to add a beautiful new tankmate. On an important note however, these new captive raised arrivals are only 3" tall, it's important to keep them in a system that can adequately handle their adult height of 18".
These new Pinnatus Batfish were imported by Pacific Aqua Farms, the same Los Angeles wholesaler who earlier this year received the famous Lightning Maroon Clownfish from New Guinea. Due to their rarity, these new tank raised fish will be few and far between as the breeder builds their numbers, and are making a very limited debut in the hobby. Very few Los Angeles fish stores have managed to procure a few fish, and they are making their first out-of-state appearance at Aquatouch in Phoenix, AZ.
