MD, I was cheering along with you at that first strike! Well done, that was so much fun to watch. I say you taught them by priming them with red food. They may have finally figured it out on their own, but you certainly gave them the head start they needed. Congratulations!
Your reaction to the first signs of “spitting” really brought a smile to my face! A huge reason you’re one of my favorite creators is due to your genuine passion and excitement for each build! Keep up the great work MD!
This is ridiculously cool!! Are you going to find them some buggies and flies to put in there? Maybe you could get some of those and cover the top with plastic wrap so they don't escape, see if they'll target them.
Hi MD, I just want to say as a person who has PTSD this video's are so relaxing. When i watch your channel im instant relaxed. Thanks for this self medication🙏 Have a great day! With love from the netherlands
I got into the hobby for this exact reason My life was in disarray and I was always stressed about something As soon as I got my tank I can just sit there for hours watching and messing with it worry free
Awesome footage! My wife and I took our kids to an aquarium here in the states that has archerfish. I was in the middle of explaining how they hunt to my daughter when one of the archerfish squirted her with water!
Fantastic! Ive wanted archers for about 15 years since I read you could keep them in aquariums so I've been following this series with interest, lovely tank.
Fantastic MD! YOu sounded so excited! Epic vid, really interesting seeing the fish do that. And quite possibly my favourite build you have ever done... quality!
I am squealing like a little kid right now!! That was some of the best and most fun footage!!! I must have these fish in my life one day. I am so stoked for you 😁 Thank you so much for sharing!
This is probably one of the more exciting fish vids I've seen. I have a tank full of shy guys so any time I see any sort of cool natural behavior is like gold to me
CONGRATULATIONS MD!! This was the first time I have ever seen a fish keeper get their Archer fish to spit. I had only seen it in documentaries about fish in the wild! You've done a great job and thanks for this video. My family really enjoyed it!
I keep a shoal of 13 archers myself and let me tell you, they see any kinds of bug in the room (let alone the tank), they engage FULL predator mode. They smash crickets and you see a whole different side of things when live food (or even frozen food is popped on the powerhead). - Mega little predators!
Cool stuff, I once had a dwarf gourami that had learnt to spit water to get my attention when he was hungry. I can't quite remember how he had learnt how to do it but I think I just noticed him doing it one time and threw food in the tank asap cos it would be convenient, since I forget to feed them every now and again.
Epic! I have a Dwarf Gourami, and guys and girls, they do it too!! I noticed the behaviours of my Gourami in the Archerfish, and I didn't know that Gourami's do this also, and well enough after some googling, i was excited to put flake food on our tank. First attempt lasted 10 minutes, and didn't work, but he really had a go at jumping and v lining it. Later that day, the second attempt, water was being spit in large quantities at multiple targets. Huge Success. Ive been feeding him wrong for the 6 months I've owned him! What a primal behaviour, so great to watch.
Amazing video MD! When I look back to when you started this channel in the 'shed' in your back garden, I cannot think of a time you failed to entertain us & offer us MD'ers informative ideas about keeping healthy fish & aquariums. I appreciate the effort you put in to each of the videos you make for us.
The genuine excitement at 11:10 is why I watch these videos I love that you keep it real Loved you since day one MD! ❤️ Hope you an awesome holiday season and wishing you and the family a happy new year!!
i remember my first joy of seeing it in person. same thing, was playing my mobile game and i gotten a quick squirt. From typing food to moving to live crickets. Love those times
I read that archer fish have extremely accurate aim. If one of them spat at the back of your head, I hope it's because it meant to hit you... Which is just the most hilariously rude/cute thing ever lollll
Ive been really excited about this video ever since you said you we’re going to make it. And it doesn’t disappoint. Absolutely brilliant MD. I love seeing what you would see in nature in your own home. Ive just recorded my Angel Fish laying eggs and fertilising them. Itl be released in the coming days on my channel. I would love to get some of these Archer fish at some point, as this is next level. Well done MD!! The tank is awesome, its inhabitants, nothing but amazing ❤️🐠🦐🐌🌱
When the 1st spitting occurred, I have to say that I gasped! That was so awesome! I told my husband all about it and declared that we too are getting archers!! 😁
Very cool fish! In fact all your set-ups are top quality and you've given me dozens of ideas for my first aquarium. Problem is you've given me so many ideas I cant decide what to do. Keep up the good work and take care. best regards matt
You can also hang things over the surface to see them jump , and only a few of us know that they can shoot an jet of water UNDER water also when there is food on the bottom to make it "move" a bit upwards
Omg! Omg md. Out done your self!!! That was the coolest thing ever ever!!+ I love this tank. And I love those fish! Beautiful. My last has some and they really are impressive
Remember MD, These guys have to allow for refraction... AND they can't see anything behind their target (glass) so judging distance is more difficult. Cracking setup mate, wish I had the room to do the same 👍
This is super exciting!!! This hobby just keeps giving more and more delight ❤️. Well done on the set up and befriending the archer fish and yes, they are smart shooters :) this will keep you busy for months :) so interactive. I would also like to share... I have 2 angels. And have a tank below their tank where I have endlers. And one evening I was cleaning the endler tank and all my focus was on them. The angels being curious creatures kept observing me. But I didnt look up as was busy with the endlers. And then I feel a drop on my forehead and I look up and see the angels staring at me. 🤣 The angels called to me 🤣🤣🤣 gave them a tiny treat, even though they had their feed in the morning 😂
you should do some cricket feedings next. ik you’re probably a little concerned about crickets getting loose in the studio but you could probably get a glass rod and silicone or superglue a small branch to one end, then hang the glass rod from the ceiling pointing down over the tank. crickets shouldn’t be able to climb the glass rod so they’ll be stuck in one place for the fish instead of putting them on the existing driftwood and watching them go into the plants or out of the tank. also if you try this it’ll be hard to get crickets onto the branch since most will just blindly jump into the water when you get too close, so maybe attach a cup with a removable lid to the branch so they can climb onto it gradually. you could also lay a branch across the front of the tank from end to end and put a decently sized piece of corrugated plastic around each end of the branch on the inside of the tank creating a wall that the crickets can’t crawl past to escape
Well chuffed for you. Could feel your excitement levels in this video. Such majestic fish with a worthy setup here. Would love something similar when I get my forever home. Until then have to settle with my little nano tank and betta
Happy New Year MD! Thanks for sharing this one! That was so awesome, to see them spitting to get their food, like they were ment to! Will you put any actual bugs in there at some point? I've no idea what though, maybe crickets? Idk. But anyhow, this was so exciting!!! Thanks again!
That was AWESOME 🤘really enjoyed the series, cant think of anything better than providing them with a truly naturalistic environment where they feel happy to act naturally. Great job dude 🤙
Whoa! Gotta be the best MD build and quite possibly coolest tank ever now they're spitting. Doesn't get much better--well done. Hey @MDFishTanks , where did you get the filler-upper attachment for filling your tank? That thing looks so easy and gentle with filling.
That is awesome! I want some now!!! ...maybe potato bugs ( isopods ) would stay in the leaves and not escape, and if they do they dry up and die pretty easy
That's a really great way of doing it! They're coming along so nicely, and the tank as well, it looks awesome! Hopefully you'll keep this one around a bit longer than six months, hee! 😅 Side note; I moved yesterday and we got my tank moved over safely, glad to report no casualties either, so yay!
Congrats on the move, I will be moving a 10 g shortly. How big were the tanks you moved and how did you do it? Ive been told that my tank is small enough to where I can just drain the water down significantly and move the tank onto a board or something to support the bottom while moving, and I won’t have to remove any of my plants/wood. That just worries me so I’m trying to ask around from other’s experiences. Cheers!
@@thenamesPRINDLE I moved from sydney to melbourne recently in car. i just put my fish in an icebox with minimal water. just remember to bring an air stone. U can get a usb air stone on ebay or amazon
You just made me love archerfish with this video!! When i move im absolutely getting a big tank to be able to get em! Personally i think it was a group effort as far as the behaviour goes haha Thanks for the vid!
Ahhh thats so cool!!! Great job getting them comfortable enough to display their natural instincts, I'd have no idea where to start with that! I bet you were buzzin all afternoon xD Merry Christmas and Happy New Year dude!

Tell me please are the hoodie sizes men sizes? 🙏
And what is it that moves around the aquarium during assembly ? 0:50-1:00
a strange movement similar to a fish on the right side in the water
its time for frozen bloodworm on the wood i think
MD, I was cheering along with you at that first strike! Well done, that was so much fun to watch. I say you taught them by priming them with red food. They may have finally figured it out on their own, but you certainly gave them the head start they needed. Congratulations!

This is ridiculously cool!! Are you going to find them some buggies and flies to put in there? Maybe you could get some of those and cover the top with plastic wrap so they don't escape, see if they'll target them.
If there are flies in the studio, it may be possible to put some sort of scent on the wood to attract the flies into the archers range.
whats a buggie?
@@arandomguy2 a bug
@@arandomguy2 haha i read it as a Budgie at first i thought that may be a bit big to eat 😂😂
There’s no point, he might aswell just keep a tub of crickets on the side of feed them on specific times and in a certain way so they get used to it

Awesome footage! My wife and I took our kids to an aquarium here in the states that has archerfish. I was in the middle of explaining how they hunt to my daughter when one of the archerfish squirted her with water!
Nature's ability to adapt and evolve, never ceases to amaze me. An absolute class video MD, thank you mate!
You’ve done it! You’ve set up the archer tank and successfully created circumstances that allowed them to shoot their food. Wonderful!

Ditto! On my wfh desk. He spits at me!!
This is SO COOL!!! I am gonna laugh if they start spitting at your head every time they want food 😂
MD....The wild fish wrangler! Spit-Trainer Extraordinaire! I love your videos. Great content every time. Bravo!
My son and I got so giddy when the fish started to spit!! Such a cool thing to see!! Thank you for posting such great videos!!

O. M. G. !!! I have never seen anything like this before in my life!!!! Fascinating!!!!!!!

The genuine excitement at 11:10 is why I watch these videos
I love that you keep it real
Loved you since day one MD! ❤️
Hope you an awesome holiday season and wishing you and the family a happy new year!!
Your genuine glee in this video made me so happy! Very cool! Loved the video!
That was so cool! I was so excited the first time i saw them spit! Well done. Beautiful tank as always. Take care
i remember my first joy of seeing it in person. same thing, was playing my mobile game and i gotten a quick squirt. From typing food to moving to live crickets. Love those times
Quite interesting. I would have thought they would know from day one and just start shooting at anything and everything that moved.
I read that archer fish have extremely accurate aim. If one of them spat at the back of your head, I hope it's because it meant to hit you... Which is just the most hilariously rude/cute thing ever lollll
Dont own any fish, and yet I watch every video that comes out. Quality, interesting, engaging, and soothing videos. Thank you
what a beautiful fish. A very natural look of hardshape as well. Amazing.
😀😃😄 When i saw the spittig my reaction was just as excited like you did MD...brilliant
That is SO cool! Well done MD and well done Archers!
Wow I was just watching a TikTok about archer fish. Cool to see a setup from you with them!
I'm glad you made these fish to live their "hunter" lives and made them do what they are meant to do
Haha thats so awesome!!! Careful though, they eventually learn to spit at you to tell you "feed us". My stingray pups do that nonstop.
Ive been really excited about this video ever since you said you we’re going to make it. And it doesn’t disappoint. Absolutely brilliant MD. I love seeing what you would see in nature in your own home. Ive just recorded my Angel Fish laying eggs and fertilising them. Itl be released in the coming days on my channel.

I like the way they have a certain area of the tank that they inhabit, and that it's right in the middle of the setup. Very well done.
When the 1st spitting occurred, I have to say that I gasped! That was so awesome! I told my husband all about it and declared that we too are getting archers!!
😁
My kids have watched this over and over. Love this one.
MD I just cheered and clapped when that spit at the food!
This is really awesome! I can't wait until they start shooting small insects! Your aquarium designs and fish are always the best!
This is the coolest tank you've ever made and those fish. Best video you've ever made. I want this tank 😩
Fun tip I used from mixing vivarium and aquarium skills: use isopods/springtails and fruit flys for these fish as food
Very cool fish! In fact all your set-ups are top quality and you've given me dozens of ideas for my first aquarium. Problem is you've given me so many ideas I cant decide what to do. Keep up the good work and take care. best regards matt
Don't worry. I doubt your first aquarium will be your last. : p
You can also hang things over the surface to see them jump , and only a few of us know that they can shoot an jet of water UNDER water also when there is food on the bottom to make it "move" a bit upwards
Awesome great idea sticking it to the glass while using the same food with that bright color that was really nice fish training
Omg your excitement is contagious. This is the craziest shit I’ve ever seen in a fishtank. Archerfish are on my dream fish wishlist now 🎉
This is incredibly cool, I love it. Have always loved archer fish, what a treat to be able to see them exhibiting these behaviors.
Hell yeah, amazing footage captured in a private tank. Thanks for the video from the States.
Omg! Omg md. Out done your self!!! That was the coolest thing ever ever!!+
I love this tank. And I love those fish! Beautiful. My last has some and they really are impressive
I've never been more excited to see fish eat. Epically cool MD!
Remember MD, These guys have to allow for refraction... AND they can't see anything behind their target (glass) so judging distance is more difficult. Cracking setup mate, wish I had the room to do the same 👍
This is super exciting!!! This hobby just keeps giving more and more delight ❤️. Well done on the set up and befriending the archer fish and yes, they are smart shooters :) this will keep you busy for months :) so interactive.
I would also like to share... I have 2 angels. And have a tank below their tank where I have endlers. And one evening I was cleaning the endler tank and all my focus was on them. The angels being curious creatures kept observing me. But I didnt look up as was busy with the endlers. And then I feel a drop on my forehead and I look up and see the angels staring at me. 🤣 The angels called to me 🤣🤣🤣 gave them a tiny treat, even though they had their feed in the morning 😂
Congrats on so much. The new house, spitters and everything else!

Happy New Year MD! Thanks for sharing this one! That was so awesome, to see them spitting to get their food, like they were ment to! Will you put any actual bugs in there at some point? I've no idea what though, maybe crickets? Idk. But anyhow, this was so exciting!!! Thanks again!
What fun! This whole endeavor has been a treat to witness. I love watching your vids.
Thank you so much for sharing...
That was AWESOME 🤘really enjoyed the series, cant think of anything better than providing them with a truly naturalistic environment where they feel happy to act naturally. Great job dude 🤙
good job on your patience training them… they’re amazing seeing their hunting skills
Can consider putting the food on the arching wood. Another factor is whether the lighting affects their sight from their point of view.
that is INCREDIBLE FOOTAGE!!! amazing!! I’ve never seen anything like it let alone in a home type setup like yours. amazing!
Whoa! Gotta be the best MD build and quite possibly coolest tank ever now they're spitting. Doesn't get much better--well done. Hey @MDFishTanks , where did you get the filler-upper attachment for filling your tank? That thing looks so easy and gentle with filling.
Great job! I can't believe how cool that was. I'm really happy you shared all of this, amazing!
That is awesome! I want some now!!! ...maybe potato bugs ( isopods ) would stay in the leaves and not escape, and if they do they dry up and die pretty easy
That is the coolest thing ever. So awesome how you got it on camera too!
That's a really great way of doing it! They're coming along so nicely, and the tank as well, it looks awesome! Hopefully you'll keep this one around a bit longer than six months, hee! 😅
Side note; I moved yesterday and we got my tank moved over safely, glad to report no casualties either, so yay!
Congrats on the move, I will be moving a 10 g shortly. How big were the tanks you moved and how did you do it?

@@thenamesPRINDLE I moved from sydney to melbourne recently in car. i just put my fish in an icebox with minimal water. just remember to bring an air stone. U can get a usb air stone on ebay or amazon
One of the coolest things I have seen. Thank you!
This is one of your best scape and best videos by far! Wow!
Such a triumphant moment when the first one spit mate! Good job!
MD! I’m inspired. What an awesome species to keep & I love your choice in dither fish too.
OMD archer fish are my faves. Imma follow this journey and like every video❤️
Wow MD! These fish are so cool! Thanks for sharing. Love from Israel
Awesome content MD.
Great to see them acting so naturally.
Please please keep us updated with these cool fish. 👍
them spitting genuinely made me smile there :D
Aquarium hobby always surprises. That was sweet!
You can get dried shrimps or bloodworms to stick on the glass , that way they are more bulky and would be easier to spot and hit
Wow. This is awesome! Love your content MD your the best fish youtuber out there. Keep up with the great content
How fun is this! Thanks MD!
Awesome! That was very exciting. Great job MD.
That was incredible! You did it, you have some good spitters hahaha
It would be awesome to see them shooting at some insect in the branches!
It's not often while watching an aquarium video that I'm laughing and cheering the action on...but yeah. I was 😀 What gorgeous archers!
This is so cool!! What amazing fish, and the tank setup is beautiful!
I am crying such a beautiful moment
you nailed it
Instinct & practice, Archer Fish are amazing!
That was so much fun to watch. Would love to see weekly target feeds. Been looking forward to this vid since you built this tank!!! Thx for sharing!!!
That's the best! Great job nailing the training...
Brilliant fun, I’m sure you played a fin in their spitting show🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I literally could hear us all cheering that fish on with you!! haha too good
This was great thanks. Try some flightless fruit flies or springtails in the dry half of the tank.
You just made me love archerfish with this video!! When i move im absolutely getting a big tank to be able to get em!
Personally i think it was a group effort as far as the behaviour goes haha
Thanks for the vid!
Super cool!! Maybe try some on the wood so that the food can be seen from the front.
That's so cool. Awesome fish in a beautiful aquarium. Well done dude!
