A bat fish can reach 18". If you can keep him to adult hood, he will reach that. My Naso's were 12" and in a 7' long, 400G tank, they did OK but you could tell they would like more swimming room, even though there was only 2 rock "islands" in the tank. I think that was also why my MI did so good, plenty of swimming room. You may find a 300 G to be a bit small when he reaches his full potential.[/QUOTE]
Losing fish of that age/stable environment is just plain painful. Had to break down my 300 because We couldn't fit my 300 through the doors on our new house a couple yrs ago. Almost didn't buy the house. ..

And I agree with Crusty on the batfish. He may fit, but not thrive once he grows. My fish were 12-13 in. As well. I had two rock formations in MIDDLE of tank so they could circle the tank.
But you'll just have to watch him grow $ see how he does!

I'm very curious about the type of batfish he is...
