Pinnatus Batfish are almost impossible to establish in aquariums. They don't ship well and are often difficult to feed. Try google, you'll find tons of info that supports this.

I'm sorry to say it but the chances of this ending well are pretty much nil. Take him back if you can.

I agree. Please take him back now.
The LFS will understand as they should never have imported this fish.

Should have done that before buying him.. so you didn't have to make 2 trips to the LFS... 1 to buy and 1 to return.

Well she has him now... I know where he is from and feel bad that she is in this situation. She is here asking so she wants and needs the help. Perhaps she will have beginners luck and will get her fish through this.

I have made purchases where I asked many questions and had issues due to misinformation on part of the store. Now I know better, but I learned some hard lessons as well. You would think a store owner would care about his clients and future business... but it does not always work in our favor.

We all start some where.
