Add movement and shine to the top of your aquarium with the Giant Hatchetfish – a rare surface-dweller that brings both elegance and uniqueness to community setups!
The Giant Hatchetfish, Thoracocharax stellatus, is the largest of the freshwater hatchetfish species. With its deep, hatchet-shaped body and shimmering silver scales, it makes a fascinating addition to any peaceful community aquarium. These surface-dwelling fish are natural jumpers, so a tightly fitting lid is essential. Best kept in schools, they display graceful, synchronized swimming that adds constant motion and intrigue to the tank.
