Benny Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 does anyone else here keep an archer or know someone that does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulkeepeR Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 these are my favorit fish, but LPS refuse to stock them becuase they are one of the most difficult fish to keep, I was trying to get my hands on one of these guys for the longest time, but my LPS said that they did not even want to risk flying it over becuase of the cost. I asked him how much he was willing to sell one for and he said about 160 dollers :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted June 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 what a shame. i got mine for $20 nz. They arent hard to keep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulkeepeR Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 realy?! are you sure it is a true archer fish? my LPS may have been telling me lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 We assume they're true archer fish - just for clarity they're a species of Toxotes. In NZ they're not what you would call a regular import but you do see them available every now and then. From memory usually around the $15-20 mark (that's NZ$ so about $7.50-$10 US).

Ira Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 I saw an archer fish in a place in Dunedin. Don't remember the cost, but I do remember that it was cheaper than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Posted June 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 very, very interesting fish. It is incredible how they spit with so much precision! You can feed them all sorts of insects. rob, you talked about us-nz dollars, isn't it good how much our dollar has risen in value! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Yep - the rise in the NZ dollar is good for us who are wanting to buy from the US (not so good for exporters though) - I may have to start snooping around Amazon.com to see if there are more fishy books for me to buy.
