Looks ALOT like a Largescale archer fish, better known as the Toxotes chatareus.

Thanks for the reply dude, i thought more a small scale archer (Toxotes microlepis) just going by the blotches on the dorsal fin. Ive been using this site for a ref but i just wanted second opinions relay.

(3c) Archerfishes (family Toxotidae)

I was looking more at the banding pattern then anything, they are distinct to each subspecies of archer it seems, either way awesome fish I love them spitters.
