Anyone have any experience with these guys. I was thinking about getting 3 of them for a planted 5 gallon tank. I belive the ones I looked at were marbled hatchet fish. How large do they get? Are the agressive? Too active for this small of tank? There seemed to be no profile for them here.
Hatchet Fish?

Well, until somebody who currently knows more about them comes along... I had them years and years ago. They were community fish at the time. They hang around at the top (as I guess you know). All I know is that you must have a good cover, minimum openings. They jump and jump out if there is a place to do so.
edit... OK, here's a good page on them:

They are wonderful beautiful fish- don't do much but patrol the surface, though. Not aggressive and really no trouble except they must be fed a food that floats otherwise they don't get any.
Bigtime jumpers- look at those pectoral fins- muscled and ready to fly...
