The Marbled Hatchetfish is a distinctive surface-dwelling species recognised by its intricate marbled pattern and unique hatchet-shaped body. It spends most of its time near the surface and adds interest to an area of the aquarium often left unused by other fish. Peaceful and somewhat shy, it should be kept in groups and always in a tightly covered aquarium, as it is an exceptional jumper. Adults reach about 2 inches (5 cm).
