Sustainable aquatics has on display a really cool captive raised Pinnatus Batfish. The flamboyant jet black fish outlined in orange makes for an amazing display that has gathered tons of attention since the beginning of the show. The contrastingly colored juvenile will eventually outgrow the gorgeous color and diminutive size to become a large drably colored adult, but not anytime soon though judging from the size. Sustainable Aquatics imported this little batfish from Bali Aquarich. As the lovely batfish continues to draw attention from curious onlookers, so do the myriad of other booths here at Reef-A-Palooza. Several more pictures of the captive bred pinnatus batfish when you continue reading.
