The Batfish and Golden pilotfish, in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

From the archive record

Platax teira is a type of batfish from the Indo-West Pacific. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. It grows to a size of 70cm in length. Batfish are gorgeous and striking fish that are not common in aquaria for one major reason: they get huge. A two or three hundred gallon tank is needed for one, minimum, and larger is better.
