Alex asked for suggestions for "bottom-dwellers" :-)
Besides if those Archers keep spitting at those poor old tourists that pass
by and peer over at them they will have to do too many top-ups of the water
level ;-)
OTOH it will be a very interactive display, especially if the public
exercise their constitutional rights and spit back, but it could become a
nightmare for poor Alex trying to maintain water quality :-)

An interesting thing you could add here, seeing the public can lean over
the
tank is to have some small Archer Fish. These fish have the habit of
squirting water at people who wear glasses when they peer over the top of
the water ;-)
