Answer 1

Archer fish and scat. According to my book, archer fish are really fun. Just make sure you keep the tank well covered: they jump.

Answer 2

Well actually most brackish fish can be slowly acclimated to a marine tank but doesnt work the other way. So it is possible to keep some brackish fish with marine fish as long as it is in a marine tank and you take the proper steps to acclimating the brackish fish to a marine environment. Again you can only acclimate brackish fish to a marine tank cant acclimate marine fish to a brackish tank.

Archer fish are really cool but they have specific dietary needs. In the wild Archer fish actually mainly eat insects they do this by spitting water in a powerful stream to knock insects out of overhanging trees to fall in the water. Thats where they get the name archer fish. they are really cool but need a relativly large tank. I have never kept them so i am not to sure if they take prepared foods like flakes pellets or frozen foods like other fish in captivity.
