Información del producto

🐟 Silver Hatchetfish – (Gasteropelecus levis) – Graceful Surface-Dweller

The Silver Hatchetfish is a small, peaceful, and uniquely shaped freshwater species named for its hatchet-like body. Native to slow-moving streams and calm backwaters of South America, this fish is prized for its shimmering silver coloration and calm, schooling behavior. Its laterally compressed body and upturned mouth are adapted for surface feeding, and it’s known for its ability to make short gliding jumps to escape predators in the wild.

Perfect for peaceful community tanks, Silver Hatchetfish thrive best in groups and in calm, well-covered aquariums to prevent jumping.
