Well I love all toxotes but I read that the oligolepis don't grow as large so I might be able to keep some in my empty 4 foot.

Ive only ever really seen jaculatrix and chatareus sold but they might be around.
They are native to WA, so id be surprised if there werent some around.
They are pretty small reportedly around 15cm, dunno though, ive never kept Toxotes Oligolepis.

Wait, you wanna put Archers in an empty tank? I'm no expert by any stretch but I recommend filling the tank up first mate  :P
