Pinnatus Batfish

[aquamann28]

Has anyone had any experience with Pinnatus Batfish? They are one of my fav fish and I have tried them a few times, the last time I was getting them to eat but ended up losing them too ich. I'm getting ready to set up a 240 gallon bowfront tank and really want to give one a try again before I put anything even close to being agressive in. I also wanted to ask how your experience has been w/fish from this site, I have not tried any fish from online sources yet. Thanks!

They are very hard to keep alive,
If you can keep it alive, it will grow too big (can outgrow a 240gal)
They are very cute when they are juvis but as they get older they get uglier.
Before you buy it, watch it at the lfs for weeks and see if it swimming good and eating well

A girl I used to know was planning on getting one. She was picking up a 400g aquarium just for a single one, species only aquarium. I think you really have to love that fish to go spend that much just for one. Its not something you want to toss in in a mixed reef 180-240.
