Toxotes chatareus

Toxotes chatareus, known for their unique hunting behavior, can eject droplets of water to target insects sitting above water surfaces. This species is recommended for aquarists familiar with brackish water ecosystems. They are peaceful but can show minor aggression if not provided enough space. In the wild, they may form schools, and providing a spacious tank with plants and hiding spots can improve their well-being. Regularly monitor water quality and provide a varied diet including live insects, brine shrimp, and commercially prepared foods.
