1 If archerfish are not the best shooters of all animals, they are definitely the best of all fishes! Yet, they don't have holsters wrapped around their tiny body frames -- up to 16 inches long -- where they can draw pistols. So, we are bound to wonder: what do archerfish shoot with? Well, it turns out that they conceal their assault weapon in their mouths and only train it at insects or other small animals on overhanging vegetation.
