How The Archerfish Guns Down Spiders With Spit

  • The archer fish (or archerfish) may look like an ordinary fish, the way they capture prey will stop you in your tracks! This carnivorous fish floats near the surface of the water, awaiting spiders and insects. Once prey is near, archerfish can gun down prey up to five feet above the water by spitting a jet of water from its mouth!

    I had four of them in a 50 gallon tank years ago. They have personalities too. I left the top off the tank and put a pair of potted plants on either side of the tank. The leaves on the side towards the tank would get a drop of honey or something sweet and sticky. It was a great way to deal with flies however they did leave water spots everywhere. Now the funny thing about them. Anyone passing the tank got spat at by them if they were hungry and went unfed. I got spat at as I would go to leave for work if they were not fed in the morning too. They also would follow people from one side to the other if anyone walked by and when it was time to clean the tank they were like chickens hoping for something to be dragged up in the cleaning effort. They got excited to see a tub of night crawlers and equated any kind of tub that looked like the round Styrofoam container Nightcrawlers are sold in as well as other bait worms as feeding time. Again if they seen a white tub and did not get worms they spat at the holder of the container. What would be even funnier was watching a movie and the fish seemed to watch from the tank as well but when a moth would fly in the room if it flew over the tank it looked like anti aircraft fire with squirt guns. Not a beginners fish for aquariums since they do have some special needs being a touch PH sensitive but for the seven years I had mine they were one of the most fun fish I owned. They are great bug control if you can harden the area the tank is in for perpetual squirt guns going off from it. Heck, they even spat at my room mate's cat any time it tried to seat itself and stare at them like he wanted to catch one. That poor cat never learned his lesson for a long time and seeing that cat with his face water blasted by fish was hilarious. I actually would like to get four or five more and see if I can get them to breed and actually rear the offspring this pass.

      They offered archerfish at my LFS. I always wanted them but unfortunately... I don't have the space for a large tank (I hear they actually should have around 100g for a group of 6). And I also don't have the energy for fish who need live foods all the time

      @@user-tz9jh6pv2j Actually they eat fish food pellets too. Mine were in a fifty gallon which is a little small for adults but for juveniles they will grow into it and can be transferred or traded for other fish later. They are not exactly picky eaters but they do have preferences and if it moves, top of the list.

    • @m.williams4971
      @m.williams4971 Před rokem +20

      Actually no: Eyesight, as keen as can be, cannot account for refractoriness between water and air. It still has to estimate a higher trajectory to account for the difference and hit its target.
      Take a sniper or archer trying with wind affecting the bullet/arrow trajectory; their eyesight can be super, but it’s the accounting for changes that makes them successful.

      It’s not a ‘murderous’ projectile. A murderous projectile itself would incapacitate(or kill) the target. Alternatively, this projectile provides opportunity by gaining the fish access to its prey on the water surface{where the ‘murder’ takes place}

    my problem with almost all of these archer fish videos i find on youtube is the multi cam perspective. People want one straight shoot of the hunt, instead of it being edited with closer detail and different perspectives. Just give me one continuous shot where both the archer fish and the prey are in view, you can see it hit the target, the prey falls into the water and the fish eats it.
