Smallscale archerfish
The smallscale archerfish (''Toxotes microlepis'') is a perciform fish of genus ''Toxotes''. As its name suggests, the scales of the smallscale archerfish are smaller than those of other archerfish.〔 They reach a maximum length of . Smallscale archerfish live in the tropical Indo-Pacific region and are potamodromous, moving between fresh and brackish water through their lifetimes.〔
==Description==
Smallscale archerfish have a pointed snout and large eyes. The back is flat and the belly is curved. There is only one dorsal fin, with four to five dorsal spines.〔 The fourth spine is longer than the third. The second dorsal spine is slightly shorter than the third anal spine, which itself is shorter than the soft rays.〔 There are usually 40 to 42 lateral line scales, though some specimens found in the Mekong had 34 to 37. The species ''T. blythii'' was formerly thought to be identical to ''T. microlepis''. Differences in structure and colouration caused the splitting of ''T. blythii'' into a new species.〔
Like other archerfish, they have dark, wedge-shaped bands or spots on its flanks, which can be yellow to silvery.〔 They reach a maximum length of in the wild, and in captivity.〔 The smallscale archerfish is sometimes confused with the banded archerfish, ''T. jaculatrix''.〔 Both species have four or five wedge-shaped bars on their flanks. However, the bars of banded archerfish extend to the dorsal fin whilst those of the smallscale archerfish do not; they stop below the dorsal fin, with another dark spot on the fin itself. The smallscale is also has a shorter snout than other archerfish.
