The Platax pinnatus, commonly known as the Redface Batfish, is a captivating species that brings a unique aesthetic to any aquarium. This fish is renowned for its striking appearance, characterized by a vibrant red face contrasted by a silver-grey body. The Redface Batfish is a species that demands expert care, making it a gratifying challenge for seasoned aquarium enthusiasts. This species is omnivorous, flourishing on a diverse diet. At Tropical Marine Centre, we suggest feeding the Redface Batfish with Gamma Foods. These foods offer a balanced diet that ensures the health and vibrancy of the fish. The Redface Batfish originates from the Western Pacific region. It is ideally suited to a fish-only tank, where it can exhibit its natural behaviours without interference from other species. One of the most fascinating aspects of the Redface Batfish is its distinctive juvenile and adult colouration. As juveniles, these fish exhibit a more subdued colour palette, which gradually transforms into the vibrant red and silver-grey as they mature. This transformation is a spectacle to witness and adds an element of surprise and anticipation to the care of this species. In conclusion, the Platax pinnatus or Redface Batfish is a mesmerizing species that requires expert care and a balanced diet.
