I recently got 2 silver hatchetfish for my 40 gallon community tank. What should I be feeding him? I just have staple food now. Thanks!
JRMagno said:Hatchets only eat from the surface. So if you feed frozen food cubes make sure you break them into tiny pieces and do not thaw. This will give them time to get it.
Don't quote me on this but I believe hatchets need a school of 5 or more
Awesome fish! They are some of my favorite in the tank. The look real neat with moonlight too, with all the shimmering they produce
