Archer Fish?

[giant19000]

What do they eat and do they eat feeder fish

they are a brackish fish ,i think there is a fresh water archer but it's fairly rare, they eat insects in the wild, i've kept a few that would happily eat floating pellets and also crickets or any other kind of insect, they prefer the food to be floating mine would ignore anything that sank unless he was real hungry

Toxotes microlepis and blythii (the newly discovered one from Myanmar) are both strictly freshwater. World Of Water in Romsey has a gorgeous group of the latter!

How would they do in a semi community tank?

Toxotes microlepis is pretty good in community tanks since it stays fairly small (around 5" max) and is not aggressive.

I have a pet Archer fish. They usually get tame after being bred in captivity. Though I have a 140 gallon fish tank with a a 3 by 3 inch bamboo plants which reach the top of the water. I love predator fish and how they instinctively hunt for there prey so to train it back to hunting for its prey the it was born to in the wild. I captured a insect outside and laid it ontop the leaf of the bamboo which was 3 inches away from the top of the water. The Archer fish shot it down xD!! I LOVE DOING THAT!!
