mono questions?

3_racer · Feb 13, 2006

i saw some monos at my LFS and was wondering if a mono can live out its life in salt or if it is better to have them in brakish water? my LFS had them in the salt section. i was also wondering if you think that it would do ok in my 125 and if you think it would out grow my 125? you can see below what i have in my 125.

U CAN KEEP THEM IN SALT WATER BUT THEY DO NOT LIVE AS LONG AS THEY WOULD IN BRACKISH :thumbsup:

GOOD LUCK :GOOD LUCK:

I have had them in saltwater and they did very well. They like to move in groups so I would get a nice size school. They should be fine with what you have as long as they can not be swallowed by your lionfish. When all of your fish reach mature size your 125 will be overstocked by many standards, so make sure to watch your chems and keep up on water changes.
