African butterfly fish and silver hatchet fish

[MizzterBlizzard]

So i soon will be upgrading to an 150 gallon aquarium and i thought of this cool combination. I knkw african butterfly fish are aggresive with other surface dwellers. But some sites say thay can go together if there is a big enough tank and if there is enough floating vegetation. What so u giys think?

I actually had this combo in a 30 gallon and witnessed a ABF grab one of the Silver Hatchets but let it go. In a aquarium that size it probably would work well because Hatchets will sometimes swim below the surface. With plants sounds good.

Should be fine. Just qt the hatchets as when I had mine they always got ick.

Sounds like a cool combo, I am a fan of both those fish and hope it works out for you. make sure you have a tight lid in place.
