MARBLE HATCHETFISH (CARNEGIELLA STRIGATA)

Should ideally be kept in a heavily-planted set-up, preferably with a dark substrate and some patches of floating vegetation around which the fish will tend to congregate since they spend almost all of their time at or towards the surface. Driftwood branches and dried leaf litter can also be added, the latter in particular driving establishment of microbe colonies as decomposition occurs. http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/carnegiella-strigata/
