Teira Batfish (Platax teira) commonly found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is often found eating a mix of algae, Jellyfish and small animals. Batfish are well known for their unique shape, being taller than they are long. This creates a special requirement for housing these fish. As they grow taller they will require a "tall" aquarium with plenty of open space to swim around. keep with peacefull tankmates.
A varied diet of meaty foods such as shrimp, scallops, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and frozen herbivore preparations is recommended, and it is best to feed it three times per day. This species of Batfish can become very tame, sometimes feeding from its owner's fingers.
