Silver Hatchet Care for Singapore Aquariums

The Silver Hatchet is a true surface-dweller, built like a tiny winged dart that patrols the top inch of the water. In the wild it skims insects from the surface, so it appreciates a calm, open swimming lane near the top of the tank. Keep them in a school of six or more, as lone hatchets become stressed and stop feeding. Pair them with peaceful mid and bottom dwellers for a balanced community.

The single most important thing in Singapore is a tightly sealed lid. Hatchets are champion jumpers and will launch through the smallest gap, especially when first introduced or startled by lights switching on. Our warm 27-29C ambient water suits them without a heater, and they prefer soft, slightly acidic conditions. Feed floating and surface foods such as small flakes and frozen bloodworm so the food reaches them before it sinks.
