This is the archerfish. Even though it only appeared once during our trip and not many of us saw, it was still a magnificent sight.The Archerfish's eye is designed to spot and aim accurately at insects - fully compensating for the refraction which takes place when light travels from water to light. When the fish fails to shoot down its prey (as even the most accomplished marksman sometimes does), it is able to leap high out of the water to snatch the insect.
