Marbled Hatchet (Carnegiella strigata)

Price range: $5.99 through $6.49

A beautifully marked smaller growing hatchet found throughout the Amazon, Negro, and Orinoco rivers as well as the Guyana shield, the Marbled Hatchet has been a popular aquarium fish for decades. In the wild, they tend to inhabit warm, acidic, tannin stained waters and like most of the freshwater hatchets they are found in large schools close to the water’s surface. A peaceful and somewhat shy fish, they are best kept in groups of 5 or more with similarly peaceful tankmates. Relatively soft water and the use of tannin-releasing botanicals like Indian Almond Leaves will ensure they thrive in the aquarium.
