thanks
thanks
how far down the road do they require full marine? i plan to get a pair because my friend has one in fresh for over a year and its still in full fresh. i dont wanna get them if they require full marine in the future. or can they survive fresh for life since its captive?Oddball;499222; said:I have a dozen Monodactylus sebae. These fish are fresh/slight brack when young and go to near full marine as adults with spawning occurring in full marine. These fish can reach 8" in length and 15" in height.
i only have one, but i think my scat and him decided they are going to shoal together. I guess they are like adopted brothers or something lol. Also, I haven't had any nipping from the mono but he is with the scat who is a little bit "special" and they swim together and keep each other company. It took about a week and a half for my scat to leave his hiding spot from behind my filter but now they are ALWAYS together. It's cool how they swim side by side in the tank.Oddball;499260; said:Shoot! Forgot to mention...Monos are in the "Fantastic 5" group. Meaning either keep 1 or 5+ together. Pairs and trios will nip constantly at each other (as adults). With 5 or more shoaling behavior takes over and there's less aggression.
Keeping just one means plenty of cover is needed as individuals are more skittish when not in a group.
