Archer Fish Pics

Just a couple more pics. This time from my brackish aquarium. Just to show off my Archer, really. These are before and after shots. Apologies for the blur in the second pic!

19th October 2006. Archer has been introduced and has been in the tank for around a week. Frankly, looking a bit fed up and tatty.


Same Archer seven months down the line. I think he's great!


EDIT: Also, could anyone identify this Archer? I purchased him as Toxotes jaculatrix, but I'm sure he's Toxotes microlepis.

Lovely How do you feed these guys? Wonder if you could dangle a cricket on a stick over the tank and see if he shoots it That'd be pretty cool to see.

Thanks! When I do a water change, I press JBL NovoSticks onto the dry glass and he shoots them all down! Other than that, I feed him JBL NovoStick M, JBL NovoRift, fresh prawns, bloodworm, squid, brineshrimp and similar.

Looks like microlepis to me, but I am by no means an expert!

Id say he was a jaculatrix, doesent look like my microlepis (not enough markings and to many on the spine in the set pattern).
He looks superb, how big, 5"?

Cute archer fish. He looks gr8 and happy.
