I have two hatchetfish in my 20g tank along with some other fish, and I'm pretty sure one is male and one is female and they have been mating. Anyway, do they put their eggs in bubble nests? And do they eat their own eggs? Will the other fish eat the babies? I'm not expecting for them to have babies, and I've never breeded fish before, but it would be kind of cool if they did have babies. The tank is heavily planted, and has lots of floating plants since hatchetfish are top feeders.
