Banded Archerfish
Toxotes jaculatrix
Adult banded archerfish live in mangroves, river mouths, and coastal brackish waters across Southeast Asia and northern Australia. They feed heavily on insects at the surface, as well as small fish and crustaceans. By aiming and firing a focused jet of water, an adult can knock insects from overhanging plants into the water.
