Suicidal Hatchets!
Hi All,
Hatchet Fish have been 1 of my favorites since I was young. I read a bit back then and knew of the need for a hood because they jump out of the tank.. I never saw it or had it happen to me. When the fish interest was renewed last year mostly with my wife, I got a few more. They have turned out to be some of the most long lived fish we had. We have not been as successful with the Betas, and by far not with the Angels.
Our current hatchets are bigger then I ever seen. I had a 10 gallon back then. We have a 30 gallon now. A few months back, my wife found a hatchet dead on the carpet. It must have jumped out when she was changing the water, and did not notice it. WELL, it happened again this morning when she was feeding them. She saw the hatchet jump out! She had a total fit. I got it back in the water in about 30 seconds. All seems to be OK….
What a wacky behavior!
Thank You, Bill Lane
