This is probably the closest we'll get to an animal actually trying to be a pokemon and using water gun to another animal.

I had four of them in a 50 gallon tank years ago. They have personalities too. I left the top off the tank and put a pair of potted plants on either side of the tank. The leaves on the side towards the tank would get a drop of honey or something sweet and sticky. It was a great way to deal with flies however they did leave water spots everywhere. Now the funny thing about them. Anyone passing the tank got spat at by them if they were hungry and went unfed. I got spat at as I would go to leave for work if they were not fed in the morning too. They also would follow people from one side to the other if anyone walked by and when it was time to clean the tank they were like chickens hoping for something to be dragged up in the cleaning effort. They got excited to see a tub of night crawlers and equated any kind of tub that looked like the round Styrofoam container Nightcrawlers are sold in as well as other bait worms as feeding time. Again if they seen a white tub and did not get worms they spat at the holder of the container. What would be even funnier was watching a movie and the fish seemed to watch from the tank as well but when a moth would fly in the room if it flew over the tank it looked like anti aircraft fire with squirt guns. Not a beginners fish for aquariums since they do have some special needs being a touch PH sensitive but for the seven years I had mine they were one of the most fun fish I owned. They are great bug control if you can harden the area the tank is in for perpetual squirt guns going off from it. Heck, they even spat at my room mate's cat any time it tried to seat itself and stare at them like he wanted to catch one. That poor cat never learned his lesson for a long time and seeing that cat with his face water blasted by fish was hilarious. I actually would like to get four or five more and see if I can get them to breed and actually rear the offspring this pass.

Spider: good thing I held onto this branch so that fish didn't get me. Also Spider: hmm, time to let go and start spinning a web.

That moment you realize a fish is better at physics and math than you'll ever be

Bug: *Gets shot down* Also Bug: "BLYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT"

Wouldn’t it also mean their eyesight is incredible?

When a fish has a better aim than youll ever have

Remoraid used water gun*

Fish: spits water Documentary: "A master of physics, this brilliant specimen carefully calculates where to propel it's murderous projectile. Such astounding intellect could only be attained after centuries of meticulous evolution."

I have yet to see a video that does justice to the distance and accuracy these guys' can shoot.

So spider senses don't actually work in the nature huh

We've all seen land animals going fishing, but this is the first time I've seen a fish hunting a land creature.

my problem with almost all of these archer fish videos i find on youtube is the multi cam perspective. People want one straight shoot of the hunt, instead of it being edited with closer detail and different perspectives. Just give me one continuous shot where both the archer fish and the prey are in view, you can see it hit the target, the prey falls into the water and the fish eats it.

Spider: That won't do Also the spider: Here you go

Nature really is crazy. How the fish evolved to do that its amazing.

What an awesome natural hunter she is!!💕💕

سبحان الخالق البديع فيما يخلق ❤

A hungry fish wants to eat, it has it's way of getting those insects!!

I work wth fish so sometimes I even get squerted by one right in the face! They're so accurate amazing 😃

we are toast when fish invent guns

How accurate do you have to be to shoot down a small spider on a stick?

0:55 head shot

Archer fish r cool as hell, I wonder y they ever inherited this way of hunting to begin with.

imagine doing all that work but another fish steals your prey

Those fishes are an accurate snipers

Not only that the Sniper Fish calculates wind direction to compensate its target. and the most fascinating is that the fish calculates also the revolution of the Earth/...

Wow Nature is amazing

A true fisherman.

Archer fish did their PhD on refraction of light topic 😅

Snipings a good job mate. 💦🐟

Crazy how the top of its head is flat, probably to help conceal it better so it’s head doesn’t pop out of the water as it approaches the surface, exposing itself. Evolution takes a long time, but does a damn good job!

Wow I think it's the only fish that uses Water to shoot it's prey, what a smartass animal!!!

This thing is so fast lol .. remind me of my childhood runing around the sore try to catch this fish

Ok so nobody’s gonna talk about that edited spider splash🤣

Me:dropped my book on the water Fish:read the book and learned new ability the ability to spit😬

This is very effective & enough with water, to reload if one misses. One can do this with vodka to an antagonists.

that spider screamm biliyattttttttt

Found something about this in my physics text book! Had to look it up! Mind is positively BLOWN!!!

100% V.A.T.S. accuracy.

Remoraid used Hydro Pump! It's super effective!

Spider: “ I want to eat the things you are eating, I do not want to be what you are eating!

one of the coolest animals holyyy thank u youtube shorts for recommending me a video with this fish in it

He sees this Yet he doesn't see herons lurking just above his head

bros got more no scoping skills than me

the shooting accuracy is very good 👍

Thats one way to go being spit on and fall off a branch LoL

The Fish using Watergun 😅😅😅

I should send this to my friend who is afraid of spiders! 🤣

This is an incredible creation with fine-tuning... Praise to the Almighty

That's a lot of physics for a fish

Expert max man lol😂 An intelligent fish 🐟

All the archer fish needs is accuracy

This fish is out here figuring out how to eat by spitting water man, I feel like an idiot struggling to survive.

Um.. thought fish couldnt see THAT well..🤔

Hey! What's with the editing?... You mean there still exist not one video of her actually shooting, hitting, and eating the insect, in one shot? 🤔

After I learned about a nature documentary where animals were murder to get the shot, I am now skeptical of the footage, unless showing wide shots showing the fish and the spider on the same frame. I am inclined to this the video is a montage. Did some one squirt the spider or was the actual fish?

I sold archer fish at Walmart in 1998 when they first rolled out the pilot for in store fish sales. We had an open book from the vendor, and ordered mudskippers, teacup stingrays, discus, four eyed fish, scats, puffers,, clown plecos, you name it. Many died because we weren't st up properly, and corporate investigated. After that, it was guppies and gold fish only, and now I think they got out of it alltogether.

The cinematography tho

100% Accuracy 0% Damage

A spider is crayyzy

I want my life to be narrated in this voice

If Usopp from One Piece was a fish.

Its all fun and games until one archerfish starts chanting and conjures a world with swordfishes being stuck on the ground

1:00 min mark you know damn well they used a water gun lol

They killed my dude

My boi used water gun. Soon he’ll learn hydro pump💯

Wow that's Water Gun that's my Pokemon yeah water Pokemons are awesome

HOW DO THEY FILM THIS TYPE OF ACTION.. LIKE HEY GUYS THIS FISH JUST TOLD ME HE SPOTTED A SPIDER AND HES GOIN TO SHOOT IT DOWN LET GO GET THIS FOOTAGE. 🤣🤣💯🤷🏽‍♂️

I knew there was a reason I loved l fish any fish that eats a spider is a good fish

Poor little Spider-Man. Now he’ll never get his power 😥

I see where rimuru's skill came from

Water gun. Pokémon.

Ready! Aim! Fire!

Sniper! xD

If a fish can shoot water more accurate than a water gun, we humans stand no chance

this freaking awesome like wtfff nature

coolest. fish. ever

Looked these fishes up after seeing a bunch of them hit their shot not one miss it’s so fucking cool

Archerfish belike: EZ

Awwww skeet skeet

You Have Failed This River

am thinking freaking dirty.

Sinking of Shinano in a nutshell.

Animals are real life Pokémon IMO

FPS in animal kingdom :

How much I wanna be a spider right now 😩

Fantastic!

Told you Magicarp was real.

and we're the game grumps

ill believe six feet when i see it.

100% accuracy 😮😮😮

Wow a lot fish and the river look scary

The most dummy spider i ever saw.

That means fish has clear eye sight under water..?

Can somebody explain me how did that trait evolved from natural selection?

It wasn't due to come calculated gravity shot by the archerfish... he simply got the spider coz it was dumb enough to leave the branch and hang on by a rope.

Very nice, it can spit almost as good as me.

360 no scoped

Archerfish use hudropump
