Hello ACERS,

This is my third post and its the archers turn to show up.

The first two archer species below are native to the philippines and some other southeast asian countries to australia. I have two specimens of the T. jaculatrix and they have been with me for almost two years now. Again most archers are only aggressive towards their own kind, i have never seen my archers bothered or bullied any of thier tankmates but they do eat small fish since they are predators. My T. jaculatrix eats sera pellets and sinkers and i occasionally feed them with small live fish and sometimes crickets.



COMMON NAME:
Banded Archer fish

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Toxotes Jaculatrix/Jaculator

MANALILI/MAGALLANES NAME:
None

LOCAL NAME:
Ataba, Ama mangpang, Ananabing, Anunuput, Bang-ga, Sumpit


This is the second native archer species of the philippines, the T. chatareus. I have never tried or have not been able to obtain this species because i have never seen them yet to begin with. This is bigger than the jaculatrix but they look very similar and this is believed to be a permanent freshwater inhabitant.


COMMON NAME:
Largescale Archer fish / Seven spot Archer fish

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Toxotes chatareus

MANALILI/MAGALLANES NAME:
None

LOCAL NAME:
Ataba, Ama mangpang, Ananabing, Anunuput, Bang-ga, Sumpit


The information below applies to both the T. jaculatrix and the T. chatareus

ORIGIN:
Widespread through coastal parts of Asia and northern Australia. Has been recorded from the Philippines, Australia, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea,Thailand and Vietnam.

SIZE:
T. jaculatrix Up to 30cm/12"
T. chatareus Up to 40cm/16".

WATER:
Archers live mainly in brackish water in mangrove estuaries, but sometimes enters freshwater streams and large rivers. Archer species also occurs in lakes and the sea, so it's clearly an adaptable species.

Diet:
A surface dwelling predator that takes insects, aquatic crustaceans and small fish. They can shoot down aerial insects with a jet of water spat from its mouth. The maximum range of their water jet is a massive 150cm

IDENTIFICATION:
There are seven species in the genus, including T. jaculatrix, T. blythii, T. kimberleyensis, T. lorentzi, T. microlepis, T. oligolepis and T. chatareus. T. chatareus can be distinguished from the common T. jaculatrix by differences in the number of fin rays. T. chatareus has 5-6 dorsal spines and 12-13 branched rays, while T. jaculatrix has four spines and 11-13 branched rays. T. blythii has distinctive longitudinal stripes; T. oligolepis and T. kimberleyensis are Australian and therefore unlikely to appear in imports.





This a picture of an endemic archer species from myanmar. Called the zebra archer or the myanmar archer.


COMMON NAME:
Zebra archer fish / Myanmar Archer fish

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Toxotes Blythii
