The Longnose Batfish (Ogcocephalus corniger), also known as the Walking Batfish, has a very flat, unique body. The dorsal side can be tan or beige with hints of black, while their underside can be right orange. They use an antenna on their nose as a lure to attract smaller fish while they hide. They are poor swimmers, but rather rely on their pelvic and pectoral fins for support. They prefer low lighting and low flow. This fish can be trained to eat frozen food, but may require live food to start.
