Description: The Orbic Batfish is a peaceful fish with beautiful long dorsal and anal fins. Their unique body shape will make a stunning addition to larger, peaceful fish only tanks. As a juvenile they are a deep orange, brown color that mimics floating leaves and algae. As they mature they lose this brown color and the fins appear shorter. Make sure the tank is big enough for this fish, as they grow very quickly. Feed at least twice a day with a varied meat based diet.
