Not sure how old he is but he is about 6 inches and only had him for 2 weeks. I haven't heard of them not getting along with bbg's. I am assuming that because the bbg's are mainly bottom dwellers that they should be fine as the archer can't see below him.

Archers get along fine with small fish, for a few weeks. Turn the lights out and your archer starts hunting, anything small enough will eventually be eaten. You might be able to count your bbgs now, but you will slowly notice them missing one at a time.
