The Black Winged Hatchet (Carnegiella marthae) is sometimes called a Marthae Silver Hatchet. It belongs to the family named Gasteropelecidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.0 inches in length, the Black Winged Hatchet is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the upper tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unlikely. External sexual differences are limited to the fact that eggs/ovaries can be seen inside female during spawning. Carnegiella marthae should not be housed in a tank less than 10 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 5.5 - 6.5, temperature between 73 - 81 degrees fahrenheit, Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include keep 3 or more, high water quality, and planted aquarium.
