I know nothing about this stuff, but I love looking. And you obviously know quite a bit.
(Gee, maybe you should be working in the tropical fish business?)

Nice setup. I have a buddy that breeds fish and his house is the first time I'd ever seen apistogrammas, they are very nice looking. I love the look of hatchet fish too, so unique!

Re: 125 gallon South American fish community
Fantastic tank! Here’s my 45 gallon, been running for years and doesn’t look as nice as yours.

Looks beautiful ... have you considered black gravel/sand like the pros use in their display tanks ??

I have! I plan to the next time I do a substrate change. I still want to upgrade tank sizes once more before I’m happy with what I have, so I’ve been holding off until then.
This is a planted tank substrate that works amazingly well. When I initially set the tank up it was this dark red, almost clay color that looked amazing. Sadly overtime it’s faded to what you see now.

I kind of miss keeping fish but after I married a guy with an itchy foot, it became too problematic to move even a 20-gal along with 3 kids, 2 cats, and various assorted birds, every couple of years, so I gave it up. I tried again after settling into my current digs, but could never get the tank balanced. So I will enjoy looking at your fish instead!

After a bit of research it seems I've made an error. My hatchets are not Gasteropelecus sternicla as I originally thought and are in actuality Thoracocharax Stellatus. Figured this out once I noticed today that they started developing black coloration on their dorsal fins, something I've not seen from other hatchets. They apparently share the common name of "silver" with several species, but another one they have is the more appropriate "spotfin."
Couldn't get good pics of my own because of lighting/movement/bad phone camera, but this is what they look like now.
Notably, some have started to show courtship behavior (swimming side by side in a kind of duet), and when they do almost their entire dorsal fin flushes black.

My poor hatchets are still dealing with ich... The heat treatment hasn't fully gotten rid of them and I've resorted to ordering some Seachem Paraguard (wanted to just buy it from a local store but no brick and mortars apparently carrying it). Unfortunately it won't arrive until sometime next week, plus the upcoming two weeks of medicated treatment to be absolutely certain the parasite is eradicated.
It's unfortunate because both species are getting fed up with their living situation. The hatchets are butting heads due to lack of space (the quarantine tank is only 10 gallons) and my precious farlowellas can only gnaw on cucumber slices as the algae they crave has been stripped clean long ago...
