Description

Banded archerfish (Toxotes jaculatrix) is a fish that lurks beneath the surface of the brackish waters of mangrove estuaries. It shoots "bullets" of water from its mouth at its insect prey with mind-blowing accuracy and speeds. It is a sought-after aquarium fish, and also sold commercially as food in some fish markets.
