I like hatchets, planing to get some for my new tank. I was going to get the marbled as they stay smaller so the school could be bigger. How many do you have? I was thinking of a school of about 5-6 for mine.

that is good he used to have three. they grew very big. about a size of a large coin.

I also hope to get a school of marbled hatchets one day

I have 4 of the silver ones like in your pic and 2 marbled. They all school together. The marbled are less than half the size of the silvers. They are all supposed to be jumpers but so far I've only seen one of mine try to jump a little bit. Thankfully it was when I had already vacuumed out a lot of water so he couldn't get over the edge of the tank!

When I first bought some at Pet Smart one jumped out of the tank and landed on the floor when the employee was trying to catch them. She just picked him up and put him back in and he seemed ok.

i have a few yes, but i hear they will not breed in captivity, mine have some long butterfly like fins. yours is like a photo out of a fish book, its so nice

it is not my photo i got it off of google

they are jumpers. they almost jumped behind my dresser before very scarry :
