discovery channel

[T]

when i was small i remebered i watched a episode on the discovery channel were a arowana would spit and then the water would hit the bug then it would fall and the aro would eat it. is it some other fish that i saw or do aros really spit ?

I dont think i have ever seen a Arrow spit but they are defently gooooood jumpers, i think it may of been a Archer fish.

i agree arow jump like a flea off a dogs back, but dont spit, archer fish spit and their head is kinda simular to an arows.

aros don't spit, must be an archer

I believe I remember seeing that as well and I think it was an archer. I do remember reading about an Arow jumping out of the water to catch a bird.

I don't have a video, but I'm sure I've got a pic in my file at home. I'll look tonight for you and see what I can find. I've seen them jump 2 or more feet clear of the surface.

Yeah i think you mean an archer fish there fella they come from asia they also originate from brackish but can live in a non-brackish enviroment they are normally seen swimming at the surface just like an Arowana. But they grow to around 8" aro's grow to 4ft.
