Archer fish
Classification | Habitat | Diet |
Perciformes > Toxotidae | River mouths touching the sea | Insects |
True to its name,
the Archerfish shoots water from
its mouth near the surface to catch insects
on plants out of the water.
They can shoot water far and accurately,
up to three meters away,
and have a near perfect hit rate.
They can live in both fresh and salt water,
so you can find them near the surface of
brackish water where rivers meet the ocean.
