Surface dweller that gets 4" to 6"?

[L3CTR0N]

I'm looking for a potential surface dweller to go with my senegal bichir, leopard bush fish, congo tetras and geophagus. Any suggestions?

African butterfly fish.

Chalceus.

african butterfly fish is your best bet, but a golden wonder killi might be something you're interested in, maybe a halfbeak or a hatchey fish

Can try some hujeta gars.

I just thought of another potential candidate. Have you ever heard of the Dusky narrow hatchetfish? It's the largest hatchet fish which grows to 6 inches although it doesn't have the normal hatchetfish shape. It's more like if a hatchetfish got stretched out. Here's a link to seriously fish about it.

Always a good oddball. Aqua imports has some for sale now too.

Mudminnows, they sorta remind me of African arowanas, no idea why.

I read about a "giant" hatchetfish once that gets that size but there doesn't seem to be much information out there about it.

I think African butterfly fish are a safe choice for this type of setup. Finding obscure hatchet fish may be difficult
