Archer fish at an aquarium have been showing off their Olympic credentials by shooting bullseyes on a target.

The fish shoot prey out of the sky by firing a jet of water out of their mouths and, thanks to a special set-up rigged up by staff at Sea Life London Aquarium, they proved they can find a target as well.

“The archer fish are unique creatures and the perfect fishy athletes to get the team in the mood for a summer of sport.”

Archer fish, which measure between 10in and 12in, can aim very precisely thanks to their slender profile and face shape.
