Seems only fitting that a fish which grows to be 18"+ in length and is being cultured as a foodfish is probably never going to happen. But, in honor of it being a species now offered as captive bred, I thought maybe we should list it (we probably should list ALL species that have been listed as CB..) http://reefbuilders.com/2010/10/04/captive-bred-pinnatus-batfish-hit/ |
