Archer fish, any of seven species of Indo-Pacific fishes of the family Toxotidae (order Perciformes) noted for their ability to knock their insect prey off overhanging vegetation by “shooting” it with drops of water expelled from the fish’s mouth.

It is a fish especially for ponds but can be had without any problem in an aquarium. We will talk about how to care for an archer fish and what are the fish that you can have in the aquarium as your companions. It is acceptable to keep the fish both in aquarium and paludarium. In case when you have a paludarium, create some vegetation hanging over the tank water and put future prey of archer fish there. The latter is more preferable in terms of natural way of the fish feeding. The insect falls into the water, where it can be eaten by the fish. Interestingly, the archer fish care can be a challenge for you , especially if you want to reproduce, as it costs a lot to get it.
