I Have had The same kind of Archer for about 6 months. He's an awesome top water fish! He sure does love those crickets, Sometimes I get him to eat meal worms or chopped up raw shrimp even bloodworms but he's picky. We got another one a few months ago that was only an inch long IN THE MAIL! I'm surprised they sold him to us so small for shipping but he's now more than twice his size and very healthy. Cool fish.. Right on!
