crickets is what I have seen alot of people feed just make sure you get the right size. I love watching archers shoot crickets down from branches. that's sweet

Small mealworms can be placed to float on the water surface.
SInce he's 2 inches, try bloodworms and blackworms too. Or fish fry.

guppies, baby crickets, fruit flies and pretty much anything you catch from outside.
When I kept Archers I would periodically put up a white sheet and shine a bright light at it. Using a butterfly net I would catch what flew to the sheet and sort for food. (this is best done at night)

Also, try maggots ie waxworms (baitshop)

brine shrimp
archers dont just eat insects

Try to get it to eat pellets, mine used to, and worked out fine as a staple diet, I used NLS back then
