benno Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I know what you are talking about they are a weird looking fish that sit on the top of the water and skip across it. They are a peaceful fish but can be predatory. Ive seen many of them i used to have one but the archerfish murdured it they are very common in south australia. I fed mine crickets worms etc and gave it some floating plants to hide in. Im no expert on these fish but i hoped i could help you out Benno P.S i was spewing cos the fish cost me $30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E4G13M4N Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 The fish in question would be -- Pantodon buchholzi *Butterflyfish*-- Try a google search and should be a lot of info around the place.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OziOscar Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hey PGR Check out Lams. Last time I was there (23/12) they had a lovely batch on the level where the ca$h register is. I didn't look at the price as I thought they would end up being feeders for my boisterous lot. I have seen them at another North Shore LFS too. Cheers - OziOscar.
