This Sunday I'm stocking my new Mangrove Swamp tank with a small shoal of 5 Toxote Jaculatrix Archerfish. I have a large piece of drift wood that will extend about 4" out of the water that has a large surface area and several "roots" that branch off of it. Seems like a perfect place for fiddlers to climb around on.
Here's the question... what are the odds that the archers are going to eat them for lunch? Maybe they wont when they're small, but what happens when they get about 4-6" in size? Their mouths are shaped for surface eating so I doubt they'd eat the crabs off the bottom, just curious what would happen when the crabs got on the branch if they might start getting shot down.
Anyone have any experience with this? I thought I'd ask before I tried to mix the 2.
