**Name:** Silver Hatchetfish
**Max Size:** Silver Hatchetfish typically grow to a size of about 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5 centimeters).
**Water Parameters:** They thrive in soft to moderately hard water with a pH level between 6.0 to 7.0 and a temperature range of 72 to 78Β°F (22 to 26Β°C).
**Diet:** Silver Hatchetfish are primarily insectivores. They have an appetite for small insects and invertebrates. In an aquarium, they accept high-quality flake or pellet foods and should be supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and daphnia.
**Temperament:** These hatchetfish are peaceful and do well in community aquariums with other non-aggressive fish.
**Tank Setup:** Silver Hatchetfish should be kept in a well-maintained aquarium with plenty of surface area. They are known for their unique shape and ability to swim near the water's surface, so a well-ventilated tank with floating plants is ideal.
**Compatibility:** They are compatible with other peaceful species, especially those that occupy other levels of the aquarium. They should not be kept with fin-nipping or aggressive fish.
**Behavior:** Silver Hatchetfish are named for their hatchet-shaped bodies. They have a distinctive appearance with a slender, laterally compressed form and a silvery coloration.
**Fun Fact:** Silver Hatchetfish are known for their remarkable ability to leap out of the water to catch insects, similar to how hatchets are thrown. In their natural habitat, they use this unique skill to capture prey at the water's surface.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
