jnite Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Just wondering if anybody keeps archerfish? Would also like to see pics of the tanks you have them in and how they're set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FLIP Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Just keep in mind they are a brackish and the water level should be lower because they tend to squirt water like a water gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchips Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Just keep in mind they are a brackish and the water level should be lower because they tend to squirt water like a water gun. archers WILL eventually recognize you as a "food source" and spit at you even when you are just in the room. a tight fitting lid is a great investment with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORVETTE Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I've raised Archers in fresh water for years till they got very big with nice bright yellow tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishyFishy! Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have archer fish in my brackish tank. What would you like to know? I have had awesome success with them. Mine are flawless in condition and have wikidly bright yellow on their fins. Most you see at petland look very unhealthy. Here is a pic of my brackish setup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
