Batfish Question

[Gauge]

I've been told both that bat fish (orbit specifically) are very hardy and that they are very fragile. The one I hear the most is that they are hardy in terms of water quality, but are suseptible to both ich and aggressive fish. What's everyone's take on this?

They get way to huge for your tank

I didn't say that I was going to put one in my tank.


I am really interested in all these different kinds of fish and other sea life, and although I can't have all of them with my setup, I certainly do want to learn about them.

Wow, nice article. That's too bad that they eat inverts. I don't think I could ever have a tank without a bunch of little crabs and such wandering around doing their own thing. It gives the tank the "teeming with life" look to it. Anyway, I was hoping to get one of these when I can afford a tank upgrade, but alas, the idea is foiled.
