Barrett shared his knowledge with me, and is an expert on fish husbandry. His spawning footage is very rare and shows that batfish spawn in a similar way to some other anglerfish.

Raymond came through with the feeding footage at the last second. It is very rare to see them eat, especially in captivity!
