Yeah, i've had them before. Very neat little guys and was planning to get a bunch but they stopped gettign them in. And I definitely wouldn't put them in with hatchets. They'll be fine for about a week then you'll notice half of them missing.

My butterfly fish was wierd, it was at the bottom of the tank 50 percent of the time. It used to love to swim to the bottom and wedge in between plants and just lay there.

They have a great personality and are very beautiful, only downfall is they creep out most people because they're eyes always look like they are mad and those long purple feelers (which I like the most out of the whole fish lol).

Also sometimes referred to as the poorman's arowana.
