Archer fish is the name for a family of tropical fish that live in the brackish waters of Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Archer fish are white with black vertical bands. Adults reach a size of about 6 1/4 inches. Famous for the unique way of catching prey, Archer fish can squirt thin streams of water from their mouths to knock down insects sitting on overhanging vegetation or even flying insects. The insects will fall into the water where they are quickly devoured. As excellent jumpers they can leap out of the water to grab insects on low hanging branches. Since Archer fish feed on Spiders, crickets, worms, seaweed, insect larva, small crustaceans, they are considered omnivores.
