Embark on a journey to the treetops of the aquarium world with our guide to hatchetfish care! These fascinating members of the Gasteropelecidae family are nature's own flying fish, capable of leaping out of the water with their powerful pectoral fins. These unique creatures bring a touch of the Amazon's canopy to your tank. Learn the secrets of hatchetfish care, from creating the perfect surface-dwelling habitat to providing the right diet for these aerial acrobats. Hatchetfish require a secure, tightly-fitted lid on their tank due to their jumping abilities. Provide floating plants and a varied diet of small insects and crustaceans to mimic their natural habitat. Let these living butterflies of the water transform your tank into a slice of Amazonian wonder.
