That's awesome! I imagine having some archers would be the shizz!! Do you have any previous experience with brackish fish.. ? just curious..
nope not experience with brackish water at all. but these fish or brackish or fresh, so mine will be fresh lol
Don't do that.. do more research and try and do your part in making them as happy as possible.. they need to be in brackish water.. Unless someone knows different, but I personally have always wanted Archers and have read up on them quit a bit.. and I've read nothing but.. I don't think you'll have them very long if keep them in fresh..
The ideal set up for Archer Fish is an aquarium of at least 100 gallons with a tight fitting canopy, as these fish are jumpers. Provide plenty of plants that do not encroach the surface giving them plenty of swimming room at the top of the aquarium. Also, it is ideal to keep the water level of the aquarium a few inches below the top giving them room to practice their hunting. These fish prosper in either fresh or brackish water.
ill keep yall updated on the health of the fish, i got them today and they are alrdy eating live crickets.
