It's apparently filmed in malaysia, maybe an archer expert could pin down what species it might be?

lovely fish

crazy accuracy, can't wait for mine now

lol anyone read the comments 'it got me in the eye' lol, was that one of you guys?

I'm no expert but I think it's a Toxotes jaculatrix as they are very common

Oh no, sorry to hear that.

I've got a pair of archers now that I presume are microlepis, I'm actually looking out for jaculatrix because I really want to do a high brackish tank...

The ones I have I've had for a couple of weeks now. They're in a 75g currently half filled. They're young, but spit already.

If i can find jaculatrix, I might need to rehome them, as I'm really after high salinity fish...
