Toxotes jaculatrix

Toxotes jaculatrix is known for its distinctive hunting behavior, using jets of water to shoot down prey like insects from overhanging vegetation. They are generally peaceful but can show territorial behavior, especially when grown. Keeping them in groups of 5 or more can help reduce aggression. Adequate water quality with a filtration system mimicking slight water currents is advisable. A cover is recommended as they are known to jump.
