Anyone else have them? I recently purchased a group of 6 small scale archers, somewhat inspired by Aquarium Co-Op.

In a way, it would be great if they did.
I think archerfish are an excellent alternative to cichlids for those who wish to mix cichlids and loaches (even though it is not a good mix). They have the same general 'perch' shape, enjoy the same water chemistry and flow, eat the same food, and do not bother bottom-dwelling fish such as loaches.

I thought Toxodes come from brackish waters. Not a place one would expect to find loaches

As did I before I learned about freshwater species. Apparently only 2-3 of the 10 known species are brackish/euryhaline, the rest are freshwater.

That of course includes small scale archerfish, the subject of this thread:
