Post your Archer fish set ups

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

It's takes 20 minutes for me because I record in 4k.

I had uploaded to photobucket.

I had two Toxotes Jaculatrix.Eventually went to a large display tank in a Vets office.Kept them in a 75 gallon bare bottom aquarium with several Plecos below which liked to hide under the sponge filters.The Archers were fine without cover.They liked the 200ppm plus hardness levels of the water ph around 7.4. With 50-75 percent water change per week. Mostly fed pellets floating or sinking on a daily basis supplementing them with crickets and other bugs I found around the yard away from pesticides. As you know these fish have remarkable vision and aim coupled with a larger than expected mouth. A recent study from Oxford Univ showed they are good at facial recognition as well distinguishing between human faces. A lot of complex behavior wrapped up in one fish.

Thanks for the info. Mine will eat flake and learning to take pellets. But it's interesting to watch him hunt bugs. He's pretty outgoing and always comes over to me when I come up to the tank. Cool fish.

Thanks. He's still in the qt tank. Will probably move him to his tank in the next couple weeks.

Now I want one... I guess I'll be needing another tank.
