Archer Fish?

It really depends on the type of mudskipper, the widespread argentilineatus likes high 70s to mid 80s but only gets a slender 6" long and would most likely get eaten. The Atlantic and common mudskippers prefer cooler waters and most of the Indian and Malaysian ones are tiny. You could keep the giant mudskippers (P. schlossi) with banded archers, they like the low to mid 80s and the same salinity and get large enough not to be eaten (9-11") and are very hardy. They can be hard to find though.

Yeah! Good idea. I'm surprised at how many people jumped in about the brackish fact. There are some awesome monsters that can be homed in brackish tanks!

thats so strange because they have them with all fresh water fish...and they are in a freshwater tank....how long would i be able to keep it in freshwater? can Flower Horns tolerate brackish water....if i were to keep it with a flower horn will they get along, will the archer fish harm the fh?

fish farm breed them in fresh water,so they are sold as freshwater fish, generally they strive in brackish set-up. great shooter thou, do provide a vivarium set-up.
