Archer Fish

[weston]

I am thinking about getting an archerfish. Is a ten gallon tank big enough for one or two? Also what other supplies should I get? Thanks!

Ten gallons isn't enough for even one (I think. Depends on species).

Also, it may be worth asking a Mod to move this to the Brackish forum, where Neale Monks is a resident expert (amongst others). He should be able to give you some top quality tips on keeping Archers.

not all archer fish are brackish i beleive the ratio is 4 to 3 in favour of freshwater! i myself have a trio of freshwater ones and in no way shape or form in 10 gallons enough for any archer fish sorry

True, but I was assuming that he was referring to Toxotes jaculatrix, as this is probably the most commonly available.
