Not just that but I wuz wrong anyway, didn't read my book properly. At
least I have now learned that our own Diamond Fish as well as our
Ladder-Finned Pomfret which, IIRC, Sir Strike sometimes alludes to,
are both sometimes also known as "Silver Batfish".

*I* was referring to:

These, quite definitely, are not bottom dwellers but they can and do
make decos a pleasant and interesting experience since they tend to
live in schools and are quite inquisitive.

Cheers,

Christian
