Daily fish fact #304

Archerfish!

Archerfish can mean any of the ten species in the genus Toxotes! They are most well-known for their incredible ability to shoot insects above the water with small, precise droplets of water. They have excellent eyesight and can even account for the refraction of light when it hits water and change their aim accordingly!

Round 1 Match 9

Archerfish weirdness: "They catch their prey by basically turning into deadly water guns and spitting at spiders to knock them into the water! Their spit-aim can be accurate for 3 meters or so."

Mirror Spider weirdness: "They have a disco ball butt and the size of the mirrors changes when they're scared. They're also rainbow sometimes and the mirrors are guanine crystals like the guanine from DNA"

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Archerfish, comprising the family Toxotidae, live up to their name-- they have special adaptations to their tongues and the roof of their mouths that allow them to shoot streams of water up to 1.5 m (5 ft) in the air! They use this ability to bring down airborne insects for them to feed on.
