    yes, they are smaller than the silver hatchet but I think all hatchet should be able to tolerate lower temp

    *groan* really wonder why these LFS (and the goondus who believe them) waste energy, cash and effort to install heaters. Totally useless in this part of the world. Why make the tank water so much hotter than it would ever be in nature?

    thats why i was wondering.... if our normal water temprature is 28 degrees and they need to use heater i would be reluctant to put the buggers in my tank... but i prefer marbled anyway - smaller... silvers too big...

    Well, they are quite common. Most good farms or lfs will bring them in sooner or later. Can ask lfs to order. Should not be too expensive. $3 or less in general for small ones. Can't place a particular sighting, cos I've seen them quite regularly all over.

    C328 might still have them. I saw them there a few days ago. Not very big though.

    Personally, I prefer pygmy hatchetfish to marble hatchetfish.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
