I vowed not to get back into the hobby but with the availability of a Kelberi led me to buy 2 long tanks 6'X18"X20 (110 gallons)
My intentions for the tanks were to use one as a sump.
Along the line of holding out for a availabilities of a 180, 240 or even a 300 gallon.
I settled in purchasing smaller fishes.
Missed the opportunities several times in obtaining these Freshwater Archers.
When I was ready to buy them, all 5 were sold to an online purchaser.
Luckily my friend had these 3 he wanted to part with due to new taste of Azul and direction of his tank.
To be honest I wanted 5 to 7 of these guys, which I am contemplating on adding 2 or more but is worried about the size differences.
Current ones I have are about 1.5 years old and are about 3.5-4.5 inches guessing (maybe bigger).
Available stocks are .5 to 1.5 inches big.
None the less I have a planted tank in plan for these guys.
Here are some short videos I made from my Iphone, execuse the poor quality.

I will make more videos as they get settle in.
For the time they are housed with; (1) x1 Watermelon Pleco (2) x3 Datnoids (3) x1 Tiretrack Eel (4) filler Australian Rainbows.
I like to add a earth eater species, not sure which yet. Trio of Altifrons or Red Heads, even consider Abalios.
Will be moving the Datnoids out soon.
Burmese Clouded Archers
Toxotes Blythii
