Archer Fish - Toxotes jaculatrix - Live Fish
Archer Fish (Toxotes jaculatrix)
The Archer Fish is a truly unique and fascinating species best known for its remarkable ability to shoot jets of water to knock insects off overhanging branches—an impressive hunting technique that gives the fish its name. Native to brackish and coastal freshwater environments across Southeast Asia and Northern Australia, Toxotes jaculatrix brings both beauty and behavior to the aquarium.
Sporting a sleek silver body with bold black markings, the Archer Fish typically grows to 6–10 inches and thrives in slightly brackish water (SG 1.005–1.010), warm temperatures (75–82°F), and a pH range of 7.0–8.0. It prefers spacious tanks with calm tank mates and an open surface area to accommodate its surface-hunting behavior.
Ideal for experienced aquarists, the Archer Fish offers a rare combination of intelligence, interactivity, and natural wonder—perfect for those looking to add something truly extraordinary to their aquarium.
