Walking Batfish (Ogcocephalus corniger)

The Walking Batfish is a peaceful fish. This fish can grow up to 10 inches and will require an aquarium of at least 70 gallons with plenty of substrate to hide into. When feeding they need the food to be set in front of them. They can jump so make sure to have a tight fitted lid. These are not fast swimmers so make sure they are kept with the right kind of tank mates. They will require partially dim lights to have the best environment. Their diet consists of small fish, crustaceans, and polychaete worms. They are difficult to get them to start eating so we recommend starting with small shrimp or very small fish.

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
