Archer fish in action at the National Aquarium in Baltimore! Such a cool species of fish!
You can probably guess how they got the name archer fish – by spitting water with pinpoint accuracy at bugs on branches and leaves above the water, knocking them in for a meal. So cool!!!
AHHHH! Archer fish are my favorite 😀 I remember reading about them in a book as a kid and the first time I ever saw them in real life at an aquarium! I freaked! I was so excited 😀
Right?? They’re the best! It was even more awesome cause I was JUST telling my nephew and my sister about them shooting water at bugs and we got to see it there! Such a cool experience!
This is such a cool species to do a demo with! I don’t think I’ve seen any other facilities purposefully use that behavior for education.Â
