Silver Hatchetfish - (Gasteropelecus levis) Albino
Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Albino Silver Hatchetfish – (Gasteropelecus levis) – Rare Color Morph of a Graceful Surface-Dweller

The Albino Silver Hatchetfish is a rare and striking variant of the classic Silver Hatchetfish, featuring a pearly white body with pinkish hues and red eyes due to the lack of pigmentation. Native to the calm backwaters and streams of South America, this surface-dwelling species shares the same distinctive hatchet-shaped body and shimmering elegance of its standard form but offers a truly unique appearance for aquarists seeking something unusual.

Like all hatchetfish, they are peaceful schooling fish that thrive in groups and require a secure, covered aquarium to prevent jumping.
