Dr. Anna LatourI had never seen this before: a water-spitting fish.
Turns out it's called an Archer Fish, and it was hunting for ants on a tree by spitting water at them to make them fall down from the tree, ready for the fish to snack on. As I was watching, another archer fish actually came by and was repeatedly chased away by the first one. "My tree!" It looked like the needle fish were *also* trying to munch on the fallen ants, hanging around the first archer fish and speeding towards any fallen ants whenever they dared.
It was amazing to watch, but hard to capture in a picture. This was my most successful attempt, but the fish could easily spit water up to a height of 50 cm, probably more!
Soh Kam YungI once managed to glimpse some archer fish shooting for food in a mangrove.

ForestMy favorite #fish are usually the big silvery torpedo shaped ones but this #archerfish from a while back was fun because of their bodyplan being so different. Much more of a vertical focus than a horizontal one.
