Definitely Monster. If my Oscar could spit at me for food, he would. Just jumps out of the tank and hits me in the chest instead!

Archers are monsters! They are my favorite fish! The other night, a cricket escaped and crawled on top of my aquarium's glass. My archer jumped and jumped and jumped at that cricket. I'm talking jumping and hitting the cricket from the bottom with perfect accuracy and diving back into the water and swimming right back around to jump again. This went on for a few minutes (for my entertainment) and then I put the cricket on the side and he spit him down and gobbled him up. Archers are so awesome!

A large paludarium would be the best environment for archers. I've seen archers in a public aquarium exhibit at almost 8 inches in size. They either jump at their prey or spit at them.
