The big scale archerfish (Toxotes oligolepis) is a species of fish in the Toxotidae family. It is endemic to the Molucca Islands (Indonesia) and possibly the Philippines.[1] It was formerly reported from Western Australia (in which case the common name western archerfish was used), but this is a separate species, T. kimberleyensis.[2]
