Marbled hatchetfish?

[tmlhaus]

That's the question here...just wondering about them. If you have them can you tell me about them? Do they school together? Friendly? Easy to keep?

i hvae a lovely group of 7. soon to double. anywho, they are great fish. mine tned to stya grouped, though i do have one loner who will spend more time alone than with the group. mine are relatively peaceful. eat flakes, though their diet should be varied. they tend to like fast currents as a norm, though i know one person on here insists theirs actually prefers the calmer water. mine will spend most of their time directly in front of the filter swimming in the current. they spend much of their time near the surface so they are great fish if you're trying to have something at every level. they are also different looking, which makes them a nice addition. recommend at least 6, more if you have room.

one thing to add to what MAM said, cover glass is a must! since hatchets jump out of the water when they get scared, if you don't have any glass covering the tank they will most likely end up on the floor
