Has anyone ever kept silver hatchet fish with medium size cichlids? I want to put some in my 155g tank that is 31in tall to have something that stays at the very top, but there will be several medium sized cichlids, such as a blue acara, fire mouth, flier, sajica, and "geo" iporangensis. I'm not too worried about these fish bothering the hatchets since the hatchets will be on top and the others will stay on the bottom mostly, plus there will be plenty of other cichlids and loaches, catfish, etc as targets, and none of these fish are super aggressive, but I am wondering if when both the hatchets and the cichlids are gown up if the cichlids will be able to eat them.
I have heard acaras for example, when full grown can and will eat fish two inches and under, however since the hatchets have such deep bodies I thought perhaps that may be ok?
