anyone ever ran a terrarium with and archer so it has to shoot the water to get its food? just curious. thought it would be kool to run a big one with a reptile living ontop and a archer on the bottom water part. just curious. Pictures would be great too!
terrarium (spelling?) with archer
- Thread starter shep
- Start date
the aquarium i volunteer at used to have a tank jsut like that with mangroves that the crickets would be on. it was kool watchin them shoot. there was no reptile tho. now i think they keep puffers in the tank.
i dont want to do it yet, lack of room, it was just something i thought about and just curiosu to see if anyone has done it. plus i wanted to learn more about the set ups and stuff to increase my knowledge i guess you would say. If i was to put a reptile with it, it would be a chameleon.
i found these pictures of some fellows on net
think it would be pretty cool to maybe get some rays in there too if i could get some space on the bottom...just a thought

i saw something like that at a zoo or somthing a while ago
it had archers at the bottom with some other fish and a caimen and at the top was like these green tree pythons or some type of constricting snakes at the top
it was so awsome
wish i had pictures

I have made somthing similar to what your talking about but not exact.There was no archer fish,no bugs,and no reptile.
What I did is place a 10 gallon tank inside of a 40 gallon breeder.I then filled up the tank with dirt (no not just stuff from my backyard,coco fiber and somthing else) all the way up to the lip of the 10 gallon,mostly burrying the 10 gallons HOB in the process.I then covered the dirt with moss and hid the HOB with deco (a rock and some wood).
I put swordtails,guppies,and 2 clawed frogs in the 10 gallon.I then added firebelly toads.I was told perhaps the firebellies mild poison may harm the fish in the water but it never did.Not that I really cared about the fish in the 10 gallon,they were there to be eaten after all.
I hope I explained that well enough for you to be able to picture it.I know some people will come here and be like "Whoa hold on your crazy!!Never mix frogs and fish!!"
Im not recommending anybody else do it........But I did it before.......it was sweet.
