Marbled Hatchetfish
Carnegiella strigataPurple
The Marbled Hatchetfish spends most of its time near the water surface, where its deep chest and upward-facing posture suit quick takes on drifting insects. In shaded streams, the body profile can resemble a tiny blade suspended just beneath the film.

The animal behind the card
When threatened, it may launch clear of the water in short, explosive jumps, a useful escape in habitats crowded with underwater predators. Schooling behavior and reflective patterning help break up outlines in dappled light.
Because it relies on calm, oxygenated surface layers and riparian insect input, it reflects the condition of small tropical freshwater systems. Healthy margins and intact vegetation keep this delicate surface specialist in motion.
Bestiary facts
Marbled hatchetfish are built like little flying axes, launching from water when danger erupts.
