EPHIPPIDAE (BATFISH)

The dorsal and anal fins of young batfish are disproportionately
large, making their body higher than it is long. As they
reach adulthood, they gradually adopt a circular form. Slow and
easy to acclimatize, they are, however, aggressive toward other
batfish. They grow very quickly, with some adults reaching
heights of 75 cm and weights of around 25 kg.
