Hi i have one large archer fish and one medium archer fish and they are best mates. They dont bother any of my other fish which include angelfish, congo tetras, some bards, a 15cm gibby, a 22cm black ghost an some others.
They love spitting insects off the lids of the tank. my big archer fish can even shoot insects off the roof.
Does anyone else have archer fish as i would love to hear your experiences with them!
thanks biggrin.gif

hi pleco4me

i also use to have some archer fish too and i thought they are amazing.
i did not know much about the archer fish when i brought it.
But 1 night i was laying down on me bed and i thought there was a leak
in the roof or something coz i was getting water drops on me.
A couple of days later i found out it was me archer fish spitting^^.

So i did some research on then and i thought the archer fish had some amazing abilities.

Like have u tryed to hold crickets around 7cm above the tank and the archer
fish will leap out of the water and catch the cricket but if you hold the cricket too high then they will spit at it which looks cool too

thnx
andrew

Archer fish are great fun! Especially if your into growing plants above the water level in your tank... or placing logs that stick out of the water. Add a cricket or insect and WHACK! Definitely entertaining to watch when they are hungry.

Regards

Mike.
