Pinnate Batfish (Platax Pinnatus ) Primer

[r0cksteady]

Mine started "changing" from day one. The older they get the more the red bar shrinks and gets duller in color. I think it was about 6 inches from head to tail when it had lost all orange color on edges of fins.

^Spot on. About 6" seems to be the magic spot. I have seen up to 8" but thats rare.

Here was mine that I had back more than 20 years ago. He was about 7-8" top to bottom in this picture.

I bought him large at about 5"

He gorged on fresh frozen chopped scallops, shrimp, mussels, clams, mysis.
