The '''''Carnegiella strigata''''', commonly known as the '''marbled hatchetfish''' is a type of [[freshwater hatchetfish]], with its origins in [[South America]]. It is usually around 35 mm in length. It is unusually shaped and is white in color. It has gold line that goes from its eye to its [[caudal fin]] and the area below has a brown marble like pattern (hence its name). It can "fly" above the surface of the water by flapping its [[pectoral fins]]. It is somewhat difficult to breed and it is an egg scatterer. |
