Hi all,
Here Are Some fresh pics of my Primitive Archers, Slowly Growing and Growing !
Forget the spitting, These guys will jump and hit anything within a half meter above the tank. Lucky Ive got a Good Glass Tank Cover.
I also Have a large 7 spot common archer and a small one, but they just love to spit at their food and slowly eat, quite relaxed.
But the Primitive's Will jump and Nail anything above the surface if i leave the tank cover off. very fast and quick,
I think they figured out that spitting takes too long ! :nilly:
Great to Watch.

I Was Lucky ! Stopped by the lfs about six months ago, and they had two alone in a tank, They wanted about aus $100 each, but there was a mix up on the computer and i got the two for $100. The guys at the shop had no info on them, Only that they were hard to find and the oldest of the Archers. Im still not sure if they are male ore female.
 
Those are awesome!!!! You use salt?
 
thanks for sharing the pictures, even your regular archers look bigger and different than the ones we get from Indonesia. Absolutely incredible looking specimens. wish we could get them here, as they've never been imported for the hobby in this country to my knowledge.!
 
they are fresh water. and blythii are harder to find
