Yes you can.....I have a Sebae Mono that has been in a "fresh water" enviornment for about 5 years now.....He is perfectly healthy! We do however put some salt in the tank...Check out my Gallery....He is in the 92 gallon corner tank......

I have 3 in pure fresh right now, however i have heard usually for the overall benefit of the fish that they do a little better with some salt in their water, hence I am putting all my mono's and brackish fish into a true brackish tank come july..

Wow, I've never heard of Mono's in fresh. I thought they were higher end brackish fish. But 5 years of a healthy fish proves me wrong! Just FMI, how much salt do you put in your tank, Jen?

1 teaspoon per 10 gallon should be good :thumbsup:
