Okay, the article to which this post is linked to is absolutely ill-informed. Well, at least as far as I know, archerfish aren't extinct nor are they on their way.
It's cool to hear that they're being bred though, even though this article is a couple of years late. Also, I have a feeling that the fish bred were a freshwater population of Toxotes chatareus. Regardless, still nice to hear.
Haven't they done something similar in Australia recently?

Archer fish get target practice with fake flies
The staff at an aquarium used fake flies to get their archers to use their all-famous ability - shooting accurate jets of water at their prey. You can invoke similar behavior in your archers, too, with fake flies if you so please, but real food works just as good in my experience.
