Thanks! I love these guys. But my husband gets annoyed with them because sometimes they'll spit at us lol.

They're eating NLS, Hikari pellets, occasional frozen bloodworms and live crickets.

These guys are definitely on my wish list. Happy to hear that you got them eating prepared foods as well. For me having them spit at me would be awesome and entertaining, not annoying. ;)

One more question and then I'll stop bothering you. Have you found them to be skittish at all?

Oh it's no bother at all . I don't mind talking about my fish.

Yeah, I don't mind them spitting at me. First time it happened I was like what the heck?? And then realized it was the archers lol.

They're not too skittish. Sometimes at night when lights are off and you walk by the tank they will sometimes splash around a bit because my tank is between the wall and the bed on one side and there's just enough room to get by. But other than that they are fine.

How has keeping the clouded archerfish in groups worked for you guys? I've read they get shy by themselves but I've seen some people talk about aggression levels.
