I've observed lots of archerfishes at Kallang basin in the past as well as in the canals. Two species of archerfish can be found there but I had some pretty bad luck in catching the spotted archerfish. Show us your pet pics.

Nice, they're very curious surface feeders and very particular on their diet. I know they fall for flies but lumo beads is something new.

Heh, that makes some sense. I bet the archerfish was thinking "hey, there goes a firefly!".

I thought these fish were river dwellers peace?

They can stay in brackish and saltwater. So yeah, if the river is connected to the sea, you may find them there.
