sorry if these are not tropica
has anyone kept these before?
i kind of want to see a time lapse of them transforming into an Adult fish!
they are cool creatures!
 
I had never heard of them before. Looks they come in wildly different forms at different stages of life. Really cool looking. I'm going to move this into the saltwater fish forum; you might get more help there. Good luck!
 
thanks for moving it
i thought tropical was all tropical stuff
nevermind
No worries. It wasn't entirely out of place in the tropical forum, but you might get more hits from salt-water savvy people in the salt forum.
 
Don't keep batfish unless you have a 20,000 gallon tank and then you need to get a group of them. They grow to over a foot in diameter and live in groups.

Personally, I don't think these fish should be kept in aquariums because 99% of them die within a few months of being caught and they never do well long term.
