Post your Archer fish set ups

[jeaninel]

Hey guys, I posted this in the brackish section but didn't get one response so thought I'd post here. I know we have archer fish keepers here.

I've been checking out a lot of awesome archer fish set ups on YouTube. I would love to see fellow MFKers archer fish tanks and also pics of your fish. I have a general idea of what I want to do but would love to see everyone's to get some more ideas. Please post away!

Here's my guy. I just picked him up this past weekend so he's in my 20 long qt for now.

Nice! Now we're talkin. Can you give us details on what species you have, tank size, etc? Are those real or fake plants? I picked up a couple fake plants with the suction cups found in the reptile section at the lfs but on the look out for more.

Pretty cool. That's how I always pictured a "natural" tank for those guys. How do you get them to spit?

Just add some insects like crickets, some will crawl on the branches or driftwood. It shouldn't take long for them to knock off a cricket when hungry.

Vid of mine spitting. Hope this works.

I know Tropical Joe had some. Not sure if he still does.

I've seen some loveliest archers at V victor448 's place. Maybe he'll share.

Upload it to YouTube. It shouldn't take more than 20 minutes for a 3 minute video.
