Between their unique body shape, marbled pattern, and the fact that they spend most of their time right at the top of the tank, there's really nothing else quite like them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese guys are peaceful but can be a little shy, so we recommend keeping them in a group of \u003cstrong\u003eat least 5 or more\u003c\/strong\u003e. Keeping them with other peaceful fish and giving them plenty of plants and cover can help them feel more comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of our favorite things about Hatchetfish is where they hang out in the tank. A lot of community fish spend their time in the middle or near the bottom, but these guys stay right up near the surface. If you feel like the top of your tank is always empty, these are definitely a fun fish to check out!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey naturally come from softer water with lots of tannins, so things like Indian Almond Leaves, driftwood, and other botanicals are great additions to their setup!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne BIG thing to know before getting Hatchetfish: these guys can JUMP!\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWe definitely recommend a secure lid, and make sure you don't have any big gaps around filters, airline tubing, or other equipment.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e All fish shipments have a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flipaquatics.com\/pages\/100-live-arrival-guarantee\" title=\"100% Live Arrival Guarantee\"\u003e100% Live Arrival Guarantee\u003c\/a\u003e when shipping with our Overnight (1 Day) option.
