Welcome to our forum! I don't have personal experience with hatchetfish, so I checked on Google. Some interesting facts about the species: they are jumpers, so cover your aquarium; they are schooling fish and do better in groups; males and females look the same, but a gravid female will sometimes show a big tummy; they spawn in bushy floating plants, and their eggs hatch in about 30 hours. Hatchetfish are considered somewhat difficult to spawn.

Since personal experience is always helpful, I hope another, more knowledgeable aquarist will provide additional details.

I've got some breeding books. I'll see if one of them has any info on hatchetfish and get back to you.

I'm out of town this weekend at my daughter's soccer tournament, but I'll try to hook you up on Monday!
